Hi! I’m Shrinithi, a communication designer who loves crafting designs that tell a story. I’m all about blending branding, Illustration, UI/UX, print, and experiential design to create visuals that spark emotion and connection. My process is user-centric, research-driven, and sprinkled with curiosity. To me, great design should be both purposeful and playful - something that speaks to the senses.


When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me experimenting in the kitchen, where flavours, textures, and creativity mix just like my design process - thoughtful, bold, and a little Adventurous!
