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.
