Ideas that
move.

I build brand identities, direct campaigns, and craft motion graphics that give ideas a visual life — from the first mark on the page to the finished frame on screen. At Causate Collective, this is the core of my work: making brands look right, feel purposeful, and communicate with clarity across every format and touchpoint. When a story needs to be told on screen, I step behind the camera and direct the films that bring it there.

Brand Film  ·  SleepyCat

SleepyCat — Dosa or Mattress?

A couple walks into a mattress store. The shopkeeper suddenly transforms into a South Indian restaurant waiter — rattling off mattress types the way a waiter calls out dosa varieties. The wife cuts him off: "Dosa nahi chahiye, mattress chahiye." The film lands on one clean truth: the mattress market is hopelessly confusing. SleepyCat isn't.
