Visual direction for OpenNyAI Makerspace, Kochi edition.
OpenNyAI brings together developers, designers, and domain experts to build AI solutions for India's legal and civic challenges. The makerspace is where that work happens in person collaborative, fast-paced, and deeply technical.
The challenge: a space like this can feel intimidating to first-timers. My job was to make sure the visuals didn't.
I led the entire visual direction for the event translating a technically dense subject into something warm, approachable, and human. Everything had to say: you belong here.
Here's what I delivered:
→ Social media templates: consistent, on-brand, ready to use
→ Motion videos: to build event presence and energy
→ Event collateral: print and digital materials for the day itself
→ Presentation design: clean, structured, and visually cohesive
→ Cards and more: every touchpoint considered
Worked across Figma, Canva, After Effects, and whatever the moment called for.
This one mattered. Design for civic tech is design with purpose.

Your Brand Is Speaking Before You Do
Customers form an opinion about your business before they ever experience your product or service.
That opinion is shaped by your brand.
Not just the logo.
Not just the colours.
The entire identity.
Barbr Bento Motion was created to explore how a complete branding system can shape that perception through consistency, structure, and purposeful motion.
Instead of presenting individual assets, we focused on revealing how every piece of the identity - from typography and colour to brand applications and supporting graphics - works together to communicate one clear message:
Professional businesses build professional brands.
Because the strongest brands don't simply look premium.
They make customers feel confident enough to choose them.
If your visual identity isn't communicating your business's value, it may already be costing you opportunities before the first conversation begins.
Looking for a brand identity that helps your business earn trust, attract better customers, and stand out in a crowded market? Let's build a brand that works as hard as you do.
Awesome work👏🔥🔥
What happens when you treat a pixel not as the smallest thing in the room, but as the most important?
You get FIREWOX Studios.
I did not approach this as a branding exercise. I approached it as a declaration. Every color chosen, every grid drawn, every letterform placed had to answer one question — does this belong to a studio that makes work worth remembering? Anything less than yes did not make the cut.
The pixel became the foundation. Not as a style reference. As a philosophy. Every film ever made, every photograph ever taken is nothing but a precise arrangement of pixels making a decision together. I wanted FIREWOX to operate the same way. Deliberate. Structured. Every element doing exactly what it was put there to do.
The pixel pattern, the six-color system, the weighted logotype — none of it is decoration. It is infrastructure. Built to hold its character across every surface, every format, every context — without flinching.
I did not design a brand. I constructed a frame.
