I’ve been drawing ever since I could first hold a pencil, and I plan to continue until the day I can no longer grasp one. As a communication designer, I’ve worked with a diverse range of mediums. Eventually, I reached the conclusion that I wanted to work and grow in a space where all these different mediums converge, and Roy Studio seemed to be the perfect space for it.

Working with such warm individuals, each eccentric in their own way, not to mention the two dogs and a blue-eyed cat all nestled together in a charming little villa in a sleepy old Goan town, is something I never imagined for myself.

"Being an animator gives me the opportunity to enter a universe where I can use the power of motion to give thoughts and dreamy images life, and it is a genuine privilege to weave stories that unleash my creative spirit.
My tenure at Switch has been an exceptional journey, brimming with invaluable experiences that have profoundly influenced my artistic growth. I owe an immense amount of gratitude to Upasana and Roy for their essential guidance and mentorship. Their unwavering commitment to their craft, work ethics and perseverance serve as a beacon, inspiring me to constantly strive for excellence. Working alongside super cool leaders and project supervisors, Esha and Nigel has been an absolute delight. Their passion for their work and support have transformed every project into a deeply fulfilling endeavor. Together, we have fostered an environment where creativity thrives!

At Switch Studio, not only have I refined my technical skills, but I have also gained a deeper understanding of my own capabilities and how to harness them effectively. With each stroke and frame, I have come to appreciate the impact design and animation can have, leaving an indelible mark on both the creator and the audience."

From taking up motion design to recreate, satisfying loop-able animations, and slowly falling in love with the process of grasping new softwares, I’ve recently gotten a more tangible understanding of skillset and improvement.

Interning at Switch as a motion designer was an amazing learning experience. The exposure to on-site work culture, industrial level projects was incredibly insightful.

Sketches brought to life from scratch, an eye-catching visual formed through skilful execution brings any animator immense joy. Similarly, the opportunity to imitate reality is a privilege to create. To work smart and utilise technology to its fullest potential is one thing, however working with meaning, whether for a purpose or just for funsies is just as essential. It’s an art to strike that balance. I have so much gratitude towards Esha and Nigel for their wisdom and informative, constructive inputs. As well as their reminders to come have lunch together.

"My overall internship experience as a graphic design intern at was highly rewarding. It provided a practical platform to apply the skills I acquired during my studies and allowed me to work on real-world design projects like any other internship, but this was my first time interning in a physical studio space and the experience was unparalleled.

Working while sitting in the same space as super talented designers such as Roy and Upasana was a whole new experience as apart from working on tasks I was assigned to, I got the opportunity to take sneak peeks and watch them work their magic on the really cool projects that they were working on. Another perk to this studio setup was the Haku breaks that I could take when my brain would start frying from staring at my laptop for too long and not to mention the opportunity to meet such fun people like Esha, who was an amazingly talented, fun and one of a kind quirky mentor for me from whom I learnt a lot both inside and outside of work during the past two months,Nigel, who behind all his “workaholic-ness” had some very interesting thoughts and ideas and of course my fellow interns, Swikriti, Shipra and Suvigya "
