Kavya Acharya
Senior Designer
I've always wanted to create something that builds a memory in our heads. I've grown up around films and music, and thrive best around creativity and humour. Illustration is one of my favourite hobbies and I aspire to become an art director someday. I also secretly wish for superpowers. I've previously worked at Condé Nast Traveller India magazine, an advertising agency called Scarecrow M&C Saatchi, and a mental health App called One More Light. I like a lot of things and don't hold myself back from exploring them all.

Constantly fascinated by the stories around me, I love creating new perspectives with words. I believe narratives shape the world and have the ability to create change. My experiments have taken me across various forms of writing including a self-published poetry book, a blog, 'Inked', with creative non-fiction and fiction, and content writing with Doldora Design across websites and social media.
