Shakti did a wonderful job designing the poster for one of PT Foundation’s charity fundraiser events. The poster encapsulated the spirit of the organization, and was bold, clear and captivating. In a word-perfect!
Working with him was a pleasure. He understood what we needed quickly, was very responsive to feedback and questions, produced many high-quality options to select from, and delivered the final product in a timely fashion.
We would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for unique and creative designs that hit the mark!
Shakti did a great job for me. I love my logo. It is unique and sharp looking. He was very creative and provided many good choices to work with. Shakti is very professional and he provided anything that I asked for in a very timely manner. I would recommend him.
He has also recently updated my website with graphics and his ideas to make the site better. He did this in a timely manner and I enjoyed working with him and seeing what he would come up with next. He works with integrity and a fair price.
Shakti did a fantastic and patient job in designing the artwork for my debut album ‘Chasing The Dark’. He worked tirelessly and passionately for my cause (and continues to do so after the project is done), was at all times excellent and punctual in communication, and delivered the final concepts with expertise and precision.
Although he is not based in North America, his transparent process and timely delivery confirmed that there was nothing to worry about. It was great to work with him.

Kids these days
By Shakti Pherwani “I don’t care,” proclaims a sophisticated, yet shrill voice – as the four of us settle into comfortable coffeeshop armchairs, “I’ve told Sagar he has only three months left to work on his applications – Oxford, Harvard aur MIT toh definitely – and as backup, two other colleges of his choice – […]
‘7 Khoon Maaf’ Lacks Payoff
By Shakti Pherwani *SPOILERS AHEAD!* The opening sequence of 7 Khoon Maaf piques interest with it’s noir‐esque blood splatter and serious forensic lab sequence. You are set up for an investigative whodunit that quickly unravels into the narrative of the numerous khoons, each thrown at you in linear succession building up the tension ‐ except that the game […]

The Walk
I walk. They walk. We all walk. And it’s all we do. We just walk. Every single day: to classes, to work, to libraries, to stores, to labs, uphill, downhill, morning, evening, day and night, home.
