Hi, I’m Sandra. I am a multimedia designer with a focus on brand identity , typography and motion graphics. I am passionate about creating designs that blend functionality with emotional storytelling, allowing visuals to connect meaningfully with people. My work explores how thoughtful design can shape perception, evoke feeling, and communicate with purpose. I enjoy working across both digital and print mediums, combining illustration, typography, and movement to bring ideas to life. My projects reflect my belief that good design goes beyond aesthetics, and is about empathy, clarity, and creating something that truly resonates. Please visit my website to see more of my work.

CupCompass - Brand Identity

Cup Compass is an internationally inspired coffee brand that celebrates global flavours and architectural patterns. The objective was to create a brand and brand launch video that transforms coffee into an experience of travel and discovery. Drawing from each city’s unique architecture, the visual identity uses bold colours and textured patterns to tell local stories. This project deepened my love for branding and taught me how to balance cultural authenticity with cohesive global design, crafting a brand that feels both human and adventurous.

The project focused on empathy-driven storytelling, thoughtful pacing, and purposeful design choices to destigmatise mental health and inspire open, honest conversations.

Dreamscape Library - 3D Animation

This 3D animation, Dreamscape Library, explores the creation of an imaginative, immersive world built entirely from scratch. From detailed modelling and texturing to lighting and dynamic camera work, every element was crafted to evoke depth and atmosphere. The project challenged me to refine composition, motion, and storytelling through iterative experimentation. Beyond technical skills, it became a study in patience, persistence, and the creative process of transforming imagination into a visually engaging experience.

Veil of Smoke - Title Sequence

Veil of Smoke is a moody title sequence set in 1950s London during the Great Smog, blending historical realism with noir-inspired mystery. Using a collage and cut-out visual style, layered with fog, shadows, and vintage textures, the design evokes suspense and uncertainty. Influenced by Saul Bass and classic noir cinematography, the project explores how fragmented imagery and atmospheric sound can build tension. The process involved researching post-war London, developing symbolic objects, and crafting a visual rhythm that mirrors the detective’s pursuit of truth. The outcome is an immersive, cinematic sequence that captures the era’s mystery, fear, and lingering ambiguity.

Payasam and Paper Boats is a nostalgic 2D animated short that captures the magic of Kerala’s monsoon through the eyes of a little girl visiting her grandparents.

Soft earthy palettes, organic movements, and ambient sounds of rain and laughter bring the story to life, celebrating home, tradition, and the simple joys of growing up in Kerala.
