Hi, I’m Aditi, a multidisciplinary artist-designer, and I enjoy existing in the in-betweens of:
- research, writing and illustration and the forms they can take to bring narratives to life.
- drawing— from life, and imagination, using traditional media and creating digitally.
- what I look at, but also look away from at first glance, and wonder why.
I’m drawn to the small wonders of the everyday and forms that exist at these intersections.
I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in design from Srishti Manipal Institute in Bengaluru, majoring in Information Arts and Information Design Practices. My work has been largely reflective in nature, exploring contexts of the everyday, gender and ecology. They have taken form through illustration, poetry, creative writing, and publication. I have contributed to anthologies, editorial illustrations, and scriptwriting for theatre, alongside experience in pottery.
I enjoy reading—comics, picture books, fiction and poetry, drawing from life, especially when I travel, playing the flute, experimenting in the kitchen, and with my camera, and clay. I'm always excited watching trees and listening to birdsong! I try my best to live by Mary Oliver's words: "Pay attention, be astonished and tell about it!"

Feel free to say hi!
