About Me: Crafting Human-Centered, Tech-Enabled Experiences
I’m Surya Shrestha, a Bangalore-based Creative Manager and Design Strategist with over 15 years of experience across branding, motion design, UI/UX, and AI-driven creative automation. I specialize in crafting human-centered, tech-enabled experiences that connect brands with people — emotionally, visually, and intelligently.
My creative journey spans industries such as pharma, media, advertising, education, and enterprise tech, having led high-impact design initiatives for top global brands like Disney, Pfizer, Epsilon, Byju’s, and Merck. What sets me apart is a fusion of storytelling and systems thinking: I believe design is not just about how it looks — it's about how it moves, feels, solves, and scales. Whether I’m building a brand identity, directing a video campaign, or automating large-scale content production with AI, my approach is always purposeful, collaborative, and rooted in creative clarity.
