BASED IN
TORONTO \u2014 CA<\/span><\/p>

Hey, I\u2019m Tara , I was born and raised in India, and moved to toronto for my bachelors education. I\u2019ve always been drawn to the way design can connect people, ideas, and stories. My path into creative work wasn\u2019t linear\u2014it\u2019s been shaped by curiosity, side projects, and saying \u201cyes\u201d to opportunities that pushed me to learn new tools and new ways of seeing.<\/span><\/p>

Since graduating from Toronto Metropolitan University in Graphic Communications Management, I\u2019ve worked across print, digital, and branding\u2014designing everything from magazine covers to ad campaigns. Along the way, I\u2019ve also taught, freelanced, and volunteered, always looking for that sweet spot where design, storytelling, and technology overlap.<\/span><\/p>

Outside of work, you\u2019ll probably find me diving (BTW, I\u2019m a PADI open water diver), skating, wandering through street markets, or exploring a new food spot. I\u2019m also a cat person, love watching movies, and am always planning my next travel adventure.<\/p>

At the core, I\u2019m passionate about learning, creating, and collaborating with people who want to make things that matter. I \u2019m dra<\/span>wn to the sweet spot where <\/span>commun<\/span>ation design, AI, and storytelling meet<\/span>, and I thrive on bringing that energy into every project I take on.<\/span><\/p>
