A graphic and brand identity designer with clients around the world.
My goal is to help build your brand's visibility and make your business more profitable. As a creative consultant, I offer services to businesses that require identity, design and creative advertising support.
With a degree in Advertising & Marketing; I factor in technical expertise to actualize creative concepts keeping in mind the demands of the consumer and the challenges presented by markets the world over.

Shakti is a consummate professional who has helped me immensely as I have worked to launch my business. He is intelligent, thoughtful, creative, and genuinely concerned about providing the absolute best customer service to his clients.
I highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for an excellent web designer.

“Shakti is a hardworking and creative writer whose work is clear and concise. He is someone you can depend on to give you well thought out work on time and I would highly recommend him for any job.”

Shakti is just an amazing designer! He is quick with incorporating feedback, clear when communicating his advice and came up with a well executed logo design! His prices are excellent, as is his product.
I will surely use his services moving forward and recommend him to anyone looking for unique identity designs and creative branding collateral!

Working with Shakti was a pleasure. I found him to be very accomodating, responsive and helpful when I asked for feedback regarding my thoughts and direction for our logo at El Dorado Almonds.
We are proud to recommend his services to anyone looking to design a logo.

I had a pleasant experience working with Shakti. He understands what a customer needs and adapts quickly when asked for changes. He was very cooperative when he was hired to design a logo for me. Good design and good service. I will definitely hire him again in the future for other design work! Highly recommended..
I had a great experience working with Shakti! Grasping the business’ frameworks, and delivering creatives with thorough professionalism make Shakti an excellent resource to work with. He cooperates along with his feedback and suggestions, which assists in getting quality results. Responsiveness to concepts, attention to minute details and punctuality are his greatest assets. Our best wishes for all his future endeavors, and we definitely look forward to a long association with him!

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.

Shakti has a knack of drawing out what you visualize in your mind. I was amazed to see how quick he was in understanding what I wanted when I approached him to design the logo for my Bespoke Tailoring label HP Su Misura. The result was a sharp and crisp looking monogram… and that’s precisely what I wanted!
His work for my Loungewear label Holma has been outstanding, the brand placement he managed to achieve for the brand was brilliant. He also took care of the digital media marketing for the same, which was very high quality work with words that hit all the right notes. We needed to create a new fashion statement using Pajamas in the outdoors and the creatives achieved that. The best part about his design work is the precision and the attention to detail… I can go so far to say that sometimes I feel his work could pass a microscope test!!

Our logo development and design for The Black Tomato went beyond expectation with the help of Shakti. His immediate feedback and suggestions not only incorporated our thoughts, but also his design and marketing expertise.
The result was a logo that visually reflects and conceptually executes our Martini Bar concept. We would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for logo design and brand consulting.

Just after our first long meeting over coffee, Shakti understood exactly what I wanted out from my poster to match the Indian context. But it wasn’t going to be easy to implement – owing to strong technical parameters and legal constraints – of using only official colour schemes, licensed media, fonts, sizing and approved content.
Shakti brilliantly used a strong idea, creatively designed workarounds and applied with great care and rigorous attention to detail – within the heavy constraints and parameters – creating the perfect poster for the product to match the Indian context.
Equipped with professional expertise to develop ideas into creative, highly functional, & well-communicated design pieces, I am looking to work with clients that value a good design aesthetic.
I'd like to think that my aesthetic for all things beautiful has something to do with the fact that I'm in the creative business, although I do understand it has more to do with just having good taste!
As a creative person, I am always on the look out for interesting opportunities and look forward to working with fresh and exciting projects! To keep my skills sharp, I also undertake projects in other creative avenues, be it working on theatrical productions, photo-shoots or writing scripts, always trying to bring something fresher to the table.
I also run a small independent writing and music website project (DownrightFiction.com) where I interview and feature independent writers and musicians from all over. I also love to travel and share some of my experiences in the photo gallery section here.
