Education & Expertise

Built on Science, Refined by Practice

A rare combination of visual science and front-end engineering — giving every design decision a reason, not just a feeling.

Masters Degree
2007 – 2009

MSc Visual Communication

University of Madras

What is Visual Communication?

Think of it as the science of how the brain processes what it sees. It goes beyond making things look good — it's about understanding why certain colors, shapes, and layouts make information clearer, more trustworthy, or more persuasive. This degree trained me to treat every visual decision as a communication decision — what should users notice first, feel next, and do after.
