My story
Currently embracing the journey of learning AI
Greetings! I'm Neha Deshbhratar, a product designer and illustrator at PWC, holding a degree from the National Institute of Design.
My love affair with design started with an anthophile who loves to draw flowers. I'm a total illustration enthusiast, using my skills to craft killer branding and playfully spread design cheer among my team.
I have a soft corner for folk and traditional nuances in modern-day design. It gives a limitless imagination and creative drive. add this to the above paragraph in a playful way.
I'm a champion of collaboration, always shaping product visions with my team by my side. But wait, there's more!
My design journey has been a wild ride! I've partnered with everyone from stylish fashion brands to innovative ed-tech companies, tackling design challenges with a sprinkle of creativity and a dash of "How can we make this better for the user?"
So, that's me! A designer with a passion for pixels, a playful personality, and a deep desire to create positive change through responsible design practices.

Story of Gulabi chilli
Since enrolling at NID, my journey has been illuminated with a deeper understanding of 2d illustrations, from its intricate details to its creative processes. Moreover, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in the masterpieces of Hayao Miyazaki, gaining invaluable insights into the art of animation through his work.
Additionally, my passion for anime has only grown stronger, leading me to indulge in binge-watching sessions, thoroughly enjoying the diverse worlds and narratives they offer. Death Note marked my initiation into the world of anime, a captivating experience that left a lasting impression on me.
Inspired by all these anime and Ghibli characters, I brought Gulabi Chilli to life through my imagination, envisioning them in various scenarios and translating those visions into illustrations.
