About Kasturi Shelar

I am a seasoned designer rooted in London, collaborating on a global scale to craft compelling advertising campaigns and innovative hospitality branding designs and strategies.Growing up in the chaotic symphony of a big Indian city, instilled in me a resilience to keep hustling in this fast-paced industry for nearly two decades (contrary to better judgement). Why? Because I grew up surrounded by a family of determined, passionate creatives who engrained in me a belief system that there is nothing more rewarding than the talent to create something that has never existed before. My body of work spans across India, Singapore, Australia, London, Europe, Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, where I have collaborated with visionary founders, Michelin-starred chefs, environmental activists, hospitality titans, culture defining brands and world-famous agencies to create work that makes an impression, transcends languages, inspires imaginations and has garnered accolades from D&AD, The Drum Awards for Content, The Drum Marketing on Mobile Awards and WARC Awards across professional and academic disciplines.An aesthetic seeker, colour addict and detail devotee, I am a firm believer that design is everything and everything is design.
