Hi, I am Ria. I hold the unofficial world record of the
most creative mispelling of a tiny three-letter name.
I have traded my childhood escape for a career.
That’s what brought me to the world of advertising.
As an art director I turn the “what if’s” into
“newfinalestfinalfinalfileforsure.psd”
When disconnected from Adobe, I like to capture the
seemingly ordinary world around me through my very
ordinary doodles and wondering around with my
camera capturing anything and everything. Reach out on kulkarniria28@gmail.com
