I’m Riya Naskar - a multidisciplinary artist, designer, and global creative director from India.
Welcome to my studio! I create bold illustrations, thoughtful brand storytelling, and design that celebrate culture, identity, and personal narratives.

With over 13 years of experience across APAC, EMEA, and MEA, I’ve shaped brand narratives, built sub-brands, and led high-impact creative teams for global marketing organizations. My work blends strategy and visual storytelling, bringing a cross-cultural perspective that drives both clarity and connection.

Before stepping fully into design, I worked in audio media, e-commerce, and digital agencies, experiences that continue to shape how I approach communication, storytelling, and systems thinking. I also hold an MBA in Design, Interactive, and Film Media from one of India’s leading media schools.
 

My day to day tools are Procreate, Figma, Photoshop. Other than that I practice a lot on pen, paper, paintbrushes to pour my creativity flow.
 

Now, I am a dedicating myself towards more illustrative projects and portraitures  projects that speaks to soul. My personal art practice fuels my professional projects with curiosity, craft, and a deep respect for visual culture. I am currently building a studio & residency with my husband Kiran Thulasi, who is also an established Artist, 'TwoTwentyTwo.Space' at Wayanad, Kerala, India.TwoTwentyTwo is a Contemporary Experimental Art Studio & Residency. WHERE ARTISTRY MEETS INNOVATION.
 

I’m always open to creative collaborations, meaningful conversations, and ideas that challenge how we see and design the world.
