I illustrate for children, and anyone who has ever remembered something small and smiled.
My work captures the poetry of the everyday, with warmth, whimsy, and wonder, inviting readers to cherish little moments that make life beautiful.

Golden Sportspersons

Golden Sportspersons

Golden Sportspersons

Thirty three Portrait-style illustrations blend realism with approachability, highlighting each sportsperson’s unique energy and persona. The palette and composition nod to vintage sports aesthetics while remaining accessible to younger readers.

These illustrations are designed to be reminiscent of collectible cards, making them visually engaging and easy to relate to.

Mountains of Mumbai

Mountains of Mumbai

Mountains of Mumbai

A story of longing and friendship, this picture book explores the idea of home through the eyes of a child.

I used watercolours to bring this bustling coastal city to life, not just for those visiting, but for the people who live here too. The illustrations follow the rhythm of the story, making each spread feel open and full of little moments to discover.  

This book was published in India, North America and founds its way to libraries and in hearts of children all over the world.

Paati’s Rasam

Paati’s Rasam

Paati’s Rasam

A tender story about food, grief, and familial love. The illustrations in Paati’s Rasam are richly textured and full of warmth, bringing to life the comforting rituals of everyday life. My visual choices echo the emotional shifts in the story, from sorrow to solace, through color, detail, and composition.
