Most designers make it pretty.
I make it work and make it pretty.

Portrait of Akash Chaudhari (@akkiipc)

Most people know me online as akkiipc, a handle stitched from my full name that I've used for over a decade. Brand and design professional with 10+ years helping businesses turn ideas into memorable, scalable brands. From Bachelor of Fine Arts in Applied Arts, through ad agencies, a US-based mobility startup, and now one of India's fastest-growing mobility companies, where I've grown from Visualizer to Assistant Manager, Brand.

I started hands-on, designing every artwork. Today my focus extends past visuals. I build the systems that help creative teams move faster, stay consistent, and scale. Naming conventions, folder structures, internal tools, the invisible infrastructure no client sees but every brand depends on.

Online I go by akkiipc — often typed akkipc, akiipc, or akipc. Same person.

Shaping the brand experience at Cityflo: campaigns, identity, governance, creative ops. Co-running an independent design studio on the side, working with founders and small teams on brand and digital. Always exploring new ways to combine storytelling, technology, and design.

Always building something.

  1. Assistant Manager, Brand

    2026 - Present

    Leading brand direction: campaigns, identity systems, creative strategy, and the invisible infrastructure (naming conventions, folder structures, internal tools, brand governance) that keeps a fast-moving brand team consistent at scale.

  2. Senior Graphic Designer

    2022 - 2026

    Cityflo, Mumbai

    Grew from executing visuals into owning brand direction. Campaigns, OOH, app refresh, and the first iteration of the creative-ops toolkit.

  3. Co-founder

    2020 - Present

    Independent Design Studio

    Partnered with founders, startups, and small teams on branding, websites, digital experiences, and productivity-focused tools. Design as a business function, not just a creative one.

  4. Visualizer & Graphic Designer

    2017 - 2019

    Bounce Rideshare & Potter Handy LLP, San Diego

    Full-time role in a US-based mobility startup. Digital creatives, branding, and campaign design across international teams.

  5. Visualizer & Graphic Designer (Contract)

    2016 - 2017

  6. Visualizer & Graphic Designer

    2016

    Unsame Advertising, Mumbai

Active in theatre as performer, music designer, and sound designer. Recognised at Thespo, Purushottam Karandak, and Sawai Karandak. Represented India at international theatre festivals in Bulgaria and Egypt.

Theatre still shapes how I think about design: storytelling, emotion, rhythm, and audience. Most of what I know about pacing a campaign, I first learned cueing a play.
