About me
Hi, I'm Shyam. I'm an Art Director with 23+ years of experience in design. I currently lead the design team at KRAFTON India, working on games, character design, campaigns, and storytelling.
Over the years, I've worked with some amazing people, made my share of mistakes, learned a lot, and grown along the way. I was also a Principal Artist at Tencent, handling everything from building teams to building worlds.
I've started this Topmate page to help others who are just starting, feeling stuck, or need honest feedback. I'm not charging anything; I’ve just kept a few slots open on Sundays.
What can we talk about?
– Portfolio reviews
– Creative direction or design feedback
– Career advice
– Or just general guidance
If you're confused or unsure, I might be able to help — or at least share what worked (and didn’t work) for me.
Let’s talk.
