Hi!


I’m Tabish.


I am a graphic designer.


Photography and graphic design, not so long ago, were my passions.


They still are. Except the latter is also my profession now, while the former is still a passion.


After graduating in Print & Media Engineering from the Manipal Institute of Technology, I started working with a branding and communications firm based in Bangalore.


I have not studied design. Nor have any formal training in it. This might be a bad thing or a good thing. Depends on your perspective. My inspiration comes from making things look good, but more than that, making it simple.


(Obviously, if required, things are jazzed up, a bit!)
