I also moderated the session on Television Gossip Guru - indulge your silver screen curiosity to support presenter Punyabrota Dasgupta. It was amazing to join fellow Amazonians in creating a more inclusive world.
Amazon and Bhavan’s Vivekananda College signed MoU. This was one of the first major comms/media projects I led as part of Amazon Big Bet for virtual operations (I established the Communication Team for WWCS). This was featured in Hans India.

I have made, gifted and sold hand-drawn and digital greeting cards as far as I can remember. Baby steps as a budding entreprenuer. So, here are some of them...
This was one of the 6 variations of the autorickshaw gif that I created for wishing everyone a very merry christmas last year (i.e. 2023). All the emails were sent with personalized messages.

My parents have birthdays close by. This was the card for 2023. One of the things that went to the gift hamper. Mom has been obsessed with the color pink as a kid. So the card is a nod to her.
Mom is the centre of our universe, so dad gets the pink version of the card as well. But he sure loves his drink. Well, its poking fun at that.
The Byre Theatre team has been like a second family. This is a thank you card for being such an amazing pillar of support.
Mary and the team are a constant source of inspiration and learning. Really proud to be a part of the work that The Byre does in the community.
This is a hand-drawn card as a thank you to an amazing woman - Kerry and her 2 dogs - Aurora and Andrews. She was a neighbor in the airbnb I was staying. She graciously invited me to join in their evening walks.
This is a gift hamper for a friend, Kristen, who became a new mom is to princess Rosa in December, 2022. Its a card and envelop designed in Princess is coming theme.
This is the thank you card and letter (on the reverse of the card) to the Airbnb Superhost, Craig.

In Guardbridge there is a home with a garden full of Gnomes. The collect is vast and unique. So, the christmas cards I sent out are a homage to the gnome collection I passed often on the way from St Andrews to Edinburgh.
A different version of the gnome card collection. I am obsessed with scrapbooks. A homage to an old habit as well.
This is water colour sketch with a gloved hand puling back the white top layer to reveal the true colours beneath. Its a reflection of who we all are, incuding Pride community members.
I really love this design. I had meant it to be a hand sketch only. But ended up making it digital.
Post for Pride Month, June 2022.
Warm wishes for a colleague on the birth of his second son.
I had sent water-color and personalized New Year cards to my Amazon Comms and Design team members, January, 2020.
I always gift my own cards. As you can imagine, I make tons of them...
I paint on pretty much any surface. Once upon a time, I used to paint my mom a saree as wedding anniversary gift every year. This also used to be one of the ways to earn extra pocket money. Paint or embroider dinning table cover sets, t-shirts, shoes,... you name it, have done it!
A truckload of content will be added here soon...stay tuned!
