Hi, I'm Rahul. I am currently pursuing a Master of Engineering Design in Product Design at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. Prior to this, I worked as a Junior Manager in the Product & Marketing Design Team at Paytm, India's largest Fintech company.

 

Over the years, I have collaborated with multiple architecture and design firms, D2C companies, and have undertaken several freelance projects as well. I hold an Engineering degree and a Post-Graduate degree in Business Management.

That's what makes simple designs so impactful."

What all I can do for you?

Identity Design

I develop compelling visual identities by understanding your core values, audience, and needs. Through extensive research and strategic use of colour, shapes, typography, and imagery, I create a story for the identity and provide branding materials that resonate and enhance your presence.

Print Design

I design engaging print materials that stand out. Whether it's billboards, brochures, or business cards, I combine creative layout techniques with compelling graphics to enhance your message and brand identity. I have experience with printing technologies and methods, enabling me to create the desired product.

Brand Design

I craft cohesive brand strategies that encapsulate your vision and mission. By aligning visuals, communication, perceived emotions, and experiences, I help strengthen your brand's presence and ensure consistency across all platforms.

Packaging Design

Packaging makes a consumer choose the product. I design packaging that not only protects but also effectively promotes your products with saved shelf space and logistic costs. By creating innovative and catchy designs, I ensure your products make a strong first impression on the shelf.

Product Design

I design products that balance aesthetics and functionality, focusing on your insights, challenges, and needs. Employing design thinking, I ensure that every design is desirable, feasible, and viable. Additionally, I consider the extreme cases and accessibility needs of your product.

Digital Design

I can design a variety of digital content, from compelling advertisements, newsletters, social media content and more. By adhering to W3C standards, I ensure high engagement, impactful visuals across all platforms and enhanced online presence. 

UI/UX Design

I create user-centric interfaces, prioritizing usability and aesthetics. By understanding your journey, pain points, and needs, and by employing iterative design with feedback loops, I ensure that your digital experiences are intuitive, accessible, and delightful.

Videos & Motion

I can develop engaging motion graphics and videos that capture and retain viewer attention. By integrating storytelling with visual effects, I deliver powerful content that enhances brand narratives and communicates key messages effectively.

What's my approach?

As an engineering graduate, I started off my career in graphic design as a freelancer. My passion for design helped me learn from every possible aspect. Being a self-taught designer, I could understand the 'how and why' of things deeply. Having worked at a packaging start-up, one of the best architectural firms in India (Morphogenesis), and India's biggest Unicorn Fintech (Paytm), drove me towards professional learning and exposure to a collaborative environment. My design approach is to blend innovation with desirability, feasibility, viability, and create designs that exceed user expectations.
