Where Art Meets Strategy

I am Akhil Roy — a Senior Graphic Designer with over 16 years of cross-industry creative experience rooted in Mumbai, India. My journey began with hand-drawn embroidery illustrations and evolved into a comprehensive command of digital design, brand identity, pharmaceutical packaging, and web development.

From designing mono cartons and drug labels for leading pharma companies, to crafting logos, brochures, and visual merchandising layouts — I bring both meticulous craft and commercial awareness to every project. My background in fine arts and embroidery gives my work an uncommon depth that sets it apart.

I have independently developed and designed six professional e-commerce and business websites, handling creative direction from concept to launch. Currently available for freelance and consulting engagements worldwide.
