Hey, I'm Abhinav Pahade.
I'm a designer who chooses to direct brands.

I grew up in Mumbai, having first fallen in love with the fine arts. I exhibited my first (and last) collection at 16. At the exhibition, a mentor pointed me toward Architecture. With Michael Scofield breaking out of prison and Ted Mosby living in NYC, I didn't need convincing. I got my B.Arch from the School of Environment and Architecture in 2021.

I spent a couple of years working as an architect before moving into branding and art direction full-time. Two years at Yellow, a creative agency in Mumbai, then a Master's in Strategic Design and Management at Parsons in New York — where I live now.

I'm a creative person who has come to accept that my creative side is stronger, and that strategy is something to be designed. Creative Direction is what I do best.

This is my living room. It's a space where I live and breathe design, and a window into how I think in spaces and vibes. Welcome in!
