PRAFULLA
AN ART PROFESSIONAL (Creative Graphic Designer)
What makes Prafulla a brand?
What makes a creative person creative? I believe that it is a combination of imagination, ideas, aesthetic sense, hard work, pragmatism, deep insight about the consumer, understanding the science and the art of communications and ofcourse, some luck…
Over the last many years, I have passionately pursued my dream of giving free rein to my talent and abilities. Ever since I was 12 years old, I have lived in the dream world of creative, designs, layouts, pictures, fonts and colors. A dream that I have carefully nurtured and grown over the years.
The great Maratha king, Shivaji kick started my eventful journey in the magical world of advertising, when I drew a portrait of him when I was just 12. Today, I have risen up the ranks to emerge as a senior art professional. Giving me the satisfaction of achieving something that I can be proud of, in my professional life…
I believe that there is tremendous scope for leveraging my talent in the big wide world of building brands.
I look forward to the exciting times ahead. The journey has just begun…
