I.01 • ABOUT DEV
His work, culminating in his education, design practice, and innate creative drive, reflects this belief. Born in Mumbai, raised in Nashville, and based in New York, he draws from his unconventional cultural upbringing and third-culture identity to add a flare to his designs.
I.02 • DISCIPLINES
BRANDING • MOTION GRAPHICS • EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN • WEB DESIGN
He strives to strike this goal with design fundamentals, such as logo design, attention to typography, composition, and color theory. Dev studied experiential design in college, which has been integral to his design process.
Akin to UX/UI design practices, this course environment instilled in him the scaffolding to approach necessary design projects with a scientific approach—especially projects whose needs are chiefly entrenched in human interaction metrics.
While that dictates the function behind his design, the process of discovering style is holistic, for which he attempts to understand the context of every brand or project and tends to traverse it with an artistic endeavor.
