I specialise in art direction, user experience design and branding, creating digital and print-based solutions that are conceptually driven, visually compelling and innovative.
I believe good design brings connection and joy to every day moments. Starting with curiosity and empathy creates results that are both useful and beautiful.
For over 16 years, I’ve worked in multi-disciplinary teams, bringing a user-centred perspective to projects in automotive, banking, e-commerce, education, healthcare and more.
I was born and raised in India, and completed my education at the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London.
I currently live in Frankfurt, and am the founder of Joy in a Jar, a food startup and Indian Goods Co., a brand that presents extraordinary sustainable design from India.
Confused about how to pronounce Vatsala (Vuht-su-la)? Here’s an audio guide.
As a creative, I believe less is better, the details are the design and that good design can bring about meaningful change.
