Headshot of Ketaki Kulkarni.

HI! I'm Ketaki.

I’m a designer + art director dabbling in motion, with a side of illustration. Current project: completing an illustration inspired by Taipei City :)

5 things I might be doing right at this second:

  1. Hitting cmd + Z to undo something
  2. Aligning something in the project I’m working on down to the pixel
  3. Sketching or painting something in a Procreate file titled “Untitled Artwork”
  4. Finishing up a chapter of my current read, Feel-Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal
  5. Looking at cute animal videos, pictures of books, and travel bucket list items on my Instagram feed
Collabs, commissions, or book recs? Let's chat!
