I'm Riya Kumari, a Visual Communication Designer and an Artist at heart.
I sleep mostly (read dream). When not, I create art.
I was born and raised in the beautiful coastal city of Mumbai. I graduated from NIFT Patna, in 2021 and since have been working as an illustrator. I consider myself as a 'T-shaped designer' or a 'broadly focused specialist'. Illustration is my niche; I've honed my skills over time to produce a wide range of work within this field. My preference leans towards visual storytelling in my illustrations. Besides, my experience extends to Animation, Graphics, Branding, Videography and Photography.
