As a vibrant and forward-thinking educator and faculty, I am passionate about advertising strategy and brand communication design that drives me to adopt a dynamic and innovative approach to education and mentorship. With over 6 years of experience, I have mastered the art of developing engaging course materials and delivering impactful lectures that inspire and empower learners. From referencing the latest memes to exploring the depths of Hogwarts' library, I ensure to infuse pop culture in most of my sessions. So, whether you're a Gryffindor, a Jedi Knight, or a Marvel superhero in training, my classes are filled with laughter, learning, and plenty of "Aha!" moments. I try to boldly go where no class has gone before! I extensively use creative visualization techniques in my sessions to ensure an engaging session. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in, specializing in Brand Perception and Color Cognition, blending psychology, consumer behavior, and design. This allows me to infuse my teaching/mentorship with research insights and fresh perspectives. My approach is hands-on and project-oriented, ensuring students not only learn theoretical concepts but also apply them in real-world scenarios. I have successfully mentored over 500 student projects, guiding budding designers, account managers, advertising & marketing students in brand strategy and design, identity creation, and campaign development. I also help build design portfolios for Master's and my mentees have gotten admission in some of the best design Universities like MMU, UAL, Coventry, Kingston and Royal College of Art. My previous experiences include developing channel-specific strategies leveraging each outlet's strengths (e.g., contests, surveys, polls, carousels, blogs) for brands like Mercedes-Benz, tripXOXO, Ford India, JBL Music, Zensar Tech and Philips. Targeted both offline and online consumers with a multi-pronged, comprehensive approach. Let’s connect and explore how we can push the boundaries of design education and create unforgettable brand experiences together!
