Bio
Balaji Subramanian
I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Rishad for about 3 years. He is clearly a design thinker. He sees every brief in a creative angle and provides creative strategy for complicated client briefs. Having worked with many creative heads earlier, given an opportunity I would not hesitate to work with Rishad again. He is a great lead to handle the team and would mentor the design associates appropriately. We have created memorable creative campaigns with Rishad and it has been great knowing him professionally and personally. If anyone is looking to hire him, they are making the right choice. Wishing him the best.

I have known and worked with Rishad for over three & half years. As a graphic designer, Rishad is very talented. As a person, he is extremely easy to work with - he understand requirements that are often abstract, he is open, curious and exploratory, he is eager and willing to take on work, and, he delivers work that is of very good quality. And he is an extremely talented sketcher and an artist too. Personally, I have always valued people who bring their entire positive personality to the table and contribute in ways that are both explicit and implicit. I can easily say Rishad fits that bill well! All the best Rishad, and stay grounded in your strengths!!
