All About My Experiences

SENIOR DESIGNER
& CREATIVE MANAGER
Born in India
Now Based in England

2026 · Folio of Lijay

Born and raised in Mumbai. Shaped by the chaos, color, and relentless pace of a city that never sits still. After cutting my teeth across events, entertainment, and digital design for 10+ years — leading teams, steering campaigns, and delivering at pace for 200+ clients — I’ve made the pivot north: a Master’s in Graphic Design at the University of Huddersfield.

Outside the studio, you’ll find me tracking lap times at Silverstone, cataloguing F1 liveries nobody asked to catalogue for, or convincing myself the next side project is the one that changes everything.

From billboard to banner ad — designed to perform at every scale.
