hi! i am saachi (she/her)
With an animation background from my undergrad days, I bounce between being a designer, animator, and illustrator—whatever the story I'm telling needs me to be.
Before coming to RISD, I split my time between working for studios and freelancing for motion design projects. My creative journey has taken me from traditional hand-drawn animation to my current explorations in publications, motion graphics and type design. In the end, I'm a storyteller at heart. Whether I'm animating, designing, or illustrating, I'm always looking for fresh ways to tell visual stories and push my practice into new territories.
