I'm Riya Kumari, a Visual Communication Designer and an Artist at heart.

I sleep mostly (read dream). When not, I create art.

I was born and raised in the beautiful coastal city of Mumbai. I graduated from NIFT Patna, in 2021 and since have been working as an illustrator. I consider myself as a 'T-shaped designer' or a 'broadly focused specialist'. Illustration is my niche; I've honed my skills over time to produce a wide range of work within this field. My preference leans towards visual storytelling in my illustrations. Besides, my experience extends to Animation, Graphics, Branding, Videography and Photography.


Born and brought up in the scenic seaside city of Mumbai, I earned my degree from NIFT Patna in 2021. Post-graduation, I've pursued a career in illustration. I could be described as a 'T-shaped designer' or a 'broadly focused specialist'. Illustration is my niche; I've honed my skills over time to produce a wide range of work within this field. My preference leans towards visual storytelling in my illustrations. Besides, my experience extends to Animation, Graphics, Branding, Videography and Photography. I usually spend my time sleeping, which for me, means dreaming. In my waking hours, I immerse myself in creating art.
