I’m a multidisciplinary art director, designer and creative professional that specializes in artistic direction, creative consultancy, and identity design.

With nearly a decade of expertise, I have worked across various of industries, including sports, technology, AI, fashion, hospitality, and music. My work bridges artistic direction, branding, design systems, graphic design, and UI/UX — seamlessly blending these disciplines to deliver memorable identities, evocative visual narratives, and innovative digital designs. 

I firmly believe that the most personal work is often the most creative. I am always eager to learn from new opportunities and committed to continuous growth. 

My name is Surya, a name that means "the sun" in my culture. I was born in Gujarat, India, to a Tamil family, and we moved to Dubai when I was just six months old.
After seven years, my family relocated to Mumbai, India, where we eventually settled.

I pursued a double degree in Economics and Sales Management at HR College, University of Mumbai. It was during my sophomore year that I discovered my
passion for design, art, and photography, unlocking a new creative side of myself.

In 2013, driven by the desire to hone my creative and design skills, I decided to study abroad and pursue a Master’s Degree in Visual Design at SPD (Scuola Politecnica di Design Milano).

I am currently freelancing as a Senior Creative & Art Director in Milan, Italy.
