about me.
A little studio inspired by nature, meaningful moments, and the simple joy of creating something that lasts.
hi, i'm Anjali.
A designer based in India. I'm an MBA graduate in Marketing, but somewhere along the way I realized that what truly excited me wasn't business plans or presentations, it was creating. Design had always been a quiet part of my life, and about six years ago, I decided to take it seriously. What began with curiosity slowly grew into a career that I genuinely love.
I come from a small town where dreaming big wasn't always easy. There were moments when I had to fight for my education, believe in myself through uncertainty, and choose a path that didn't always make sense to everyone around me. Through it all, my mother never stopped believing in me, and her support gave me the courage to keep going.
Today, design has given me something far greater than a profession. It has given me confidence, independence, and the freedom to build a life around creativity. I find inspiration in nature, everyday moments, and the simple beauty that often goes unnoticed. That perspective shapes everything I create from brand identities and campaigns to digital products, illustrations, and creative resources.
Create Shades is my little creative studio, a place where ideas are explored, stories are told, and thoughtful design comes to life. My hope is that every project, product, or course I share leaves someone feeling inspired to create something meaningful of their own.
If you're reading this, thank you for being here. Your support means more than you could ever know. Every order, every message, and every kind word reminds me why I started this journey in the first place. Life is beautiful. Keep creating, keep believing in your ideas, and never be afraid to choose the path that feels right for you.
Take care,
Anjali!
