A son of the soil, I hail from Wayanad in Kerala. I believe that the first seeds of creative thinking was sown in me by my father who is also an artist and photographer. Painting and photography had an immense influence over me even as a child. Music furthered my love for the arts. I was trained for 12 years in Carnatic Music and still love to break into classical compositions and movie songs whenever I can. Growing up with these arts in nature's blessed bosom moulded me into 'Art Bose'.

Although my formal education was in Electronics Engineering, I followed my calling and started out as a photographer. That's how I was initiated into the world of ads. I developed a love for designing and branding and moved into the industry as an art director. I have now been in the industry for 16+ years, a major chunk of which was spent at Ogilvy, Bangalore. At the agency, I worked with clients including Lenovo, Wipro Consumer Care, Hindu, Amazon, TI Cycles, and GRB. I currently work as an Associate Creative Director - Creative Manager for iD Fresh Food.

My children are my biggest source of inspiration. We love to paint, play, sing, fight and explore the world together.
