Without a pencil and a piece of paper, I would be out of breath. I am thrilled to be where I am
Sketching was my passion since I was a child; The only class I enjoyed was drawing. I used to skip other classes and sit with my drawing teacher during the day working away on new designs. In the year 2000, after finishing my diploma, I began working as a 2D animator.
How did your career begin?
After completing my adiploma in 2000, I started working as a 2D animator. I spent 5 years as a 2D animator. After that, I moved to Bangalore and started working as a Concept Artist for several animation and game studios. In 2012, I started working at Technicolor Games.
What is your most memorable moment working at Technicolor Games?
At Technicolor Games, I have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects as a Concept Artist, Story Board Artist, Character Designer, and so on.

For me personally, I hope to continue working on some of the greatest video games in the industry with some of the best clients.
