Antra is an award-winning designer and illustrator based in New Delhi, India. She has an MA in Visual Communication from Royal College of Art London. She has worked as a senior designer at Penguin Random House India, and a brand identity designer at Studio Eksaat.

Possessing a keen interest in visual storytelling, she enjoys themes such as history, culture, nature and food.

Creating meaningful work with intent drives her practice. She is process-driven and enjoys collaborating with people from other disciplines to co-create solutions.

She is a fervent admirer of children’s illustrated books and finds them the easiest way to dip her toes in unknown territories. She despises the cold because it makes her fingers stiff but completes the work at hand nonetheless.
