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

Possessing a keen interest in fiction, she enjoys themes such as history, culture, nature and food. She is process-driven and likes to research the topic and then respond to it.

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

For long, she has been asking herself (and others) if print is here to stay, and her conviction in its immortality has only grown over the years.

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.
