    Shweta Malhotra, India (2019)

    Shweta Malhotra is an award winning graphic designer and artist based in Mumbai, India.

    She started her career as an Art Director in well-known advertising agencies like McCann Erickson, Contract Advertising, and Ogilvy. In 2008, after a short stint at Fabrica, Benetton's Visual Arts Research Centre in Italy, she found her true passion in Graphic Design. She then went on to work with Rediffusion Y&R Design and Grandmother India, at the leading edge of the contemporary design movement in India.

    With 18 years of experience, Shweta currently works as an independent graphic designer with a keen interest in design for lifestyle, fashion and music. Her distinctive design aesthetic is minimal, bold and graphic, a response to the maximalist visual language prevalent in India. Shweta's work represents a 'Contemporary India', rooted in the essence of Indian culture, distilled into a fresh, modern outlook.
