I'm a freelance graphic designer based in Dubai, U.A.E with a Desi name thats a little hard to pronounce, so I go by “Jyo".
Originally hailing from an Indian heritage - I'm your typical Dubai-born kid who knows when to eat SALT burgers without queuing, how to drop the word mashallah & the best place to park in every mall.
As a ‘third culture kid’, I’d like to think I’m a citizen of the world, and find inspiration from new cultures, places and people.
Having worked in advertising for over 5 years in the industry's leading firms has given me the opportunity to work on both existing and upcoming brands such as L'azurde, American Express, Arla Foods & Pizza Hut creating ATL & BTL brand collaterals as well as other visual communications in the form of packaging, promotional & event materials.
Currently in the business of sprinkling my creativity across projects in campaign conceptualization, branding & print and digital design. Whether it's individuals looking for a new style direction for their startups or entities looking to fully revamp their brand, there's always a bit of flair that I'll be able to bring to the table. My experience credits to my keen eye for slick design with a fresh perspective.
In my spare time, you'll find me working on my side hustles, strolling around Alserkal Avenue soaking up the city's art or moonlighting as stand-up comic (no joke).
