Hello!
It’s so lovely to meet you virtually.
I am Devika Kundu, a visual designer with a constant urge to design for a better tomorrow! I have recently graduated with an MA in Graphic Design & Visual Experience at Savannah College of Art and Design, Atlanta, GA. I like to focus my time to learn on how to approach design through a more human oriented way and work on solution focussed strategy. Being a part of the Creative Fellowship Program would enhance my knowledge of human centered brand design and give me the opportunity to work with institutions that create awareness through content that can’t be ignored. As a Visual designer I would create experiences that influence empathy and communications that drive interest and engagement. I have always focussed my interests in creating platforms that are designed to help the consumers in every way possible and enhance their experience with the brand.
I started my venture in Graphic Design through a love for storytelling and typography. After completing my undergrad, I worked extensively in the field of advertising and digital marketing. During my experience at Ogilvy, I developed an absolute admiration for Content, Ideation and Design. I worked in building brands and creating a strong digital presence for some prestigious organizations. My experience focussed on Social media and advertising campaigns to communicate their message to the audience. Along with this I have also freelanced as a Product Designer which helped me discover and research about user needs and apply it to the product to devise a solution. If I had a design ideology it would be to design experiences that meet people where they are, instead of where we want them to be.
I'm drawn to Google for its impactful work and attention to detail. One of the most valuable lessons I learned from studying your work is the ability to articulate a compelling vision for the future and translate it into tangible outcomes that resonate with diverse audiences. This resonates deeply with my own approach to design. For instance, in one of my portfolio projects focusing on neighborhood branding, I endeavored to encapsulate the essence of the community within the logo and brand identity. By reconnecting people with nature and fostering a sense of community, the project aimed to create meaningful connections and positive change. I strongly believe being a part of this amazing organization would give me the chance to push the boundaries of design through a solution oriented approach. Hope to hear from you soon to discuss opportunities or just nerd out about design!
Hope you end this with a smile and have a great day ahead!
Sincerely,
Devika Kundu
