Janaki Patel
Graphic & Visual Designer · Illustrator · Photographer
Open to full-time design roles in New York and to relocating.
ABOUT ME
What began as a fascination with illustration and visual identity grew into a broader love of storytelling — through color, motion, and the camera. I work across brand, editorial, and digital design, with hand-drawn illustration at the center of it. My background at Rutgers Business School (B.S. in Marketing and BAIT) means I approach creative work with strategy in mind — designing not just to look good, but to communicate and connect. Outside of work, you'll usually find me traveling, volunteering, or sketching out the next idea.
