About me
I started my career from getting a bachelors degree in communication design from one of the most prestigious institute in India. After being nominated in many animation and design fest for my work, and after leading a team as a concept artist, I decided it was time for me explore other art forms.
I pivoted my creative endeavors to screen writing and theater. I studied at LEE STRASBERG THEATER AND FILM INSTITUTE in Los Angeles. After coming back home I worked for top film production companies and garnered over 8+ years’ experience working as a script analyst & creative producer.
The experience was completely different and challenging from what I had learnt. This was the main reason for me to make courses so that students are not blindsided when they enter the real world.
Now I hope to create value for story tellers and creative developers by cutting their learning curve in half. In hyper connected world of today I plan to introduce speed learning so that students can quickly pick up a skill set and add to their portfolio of knowledge.
