Bhavi is a freelance designer currently working out of her home studio in Bombay. She shares her home with her husband, Nakul, and their son, Samar. A graduate of the National Institute of Fashion Technology Delhi, she specialises in editorial design, book covers in particular. After graduating, she worked with Penguin Books India from 2008-2013. She attended the Porto Design Summer School in 2019.

She believes in the power of the narrative and nothing brings her more joy than to bring a story to life. It probably wouldn't hurt to mention that she's a big fan of period films, dogs, drinking tea and travel. 

Her clients include: Hachette Books India, Harper Collins, Westland, Bloomsbury UK, Pan Macmillan, Juggernaut books, Ethos Books Singapore, Amazon UK, Roli Books, Simon and Schuster, Mookuthi, Ashok Leyland, National Association for the Blind and Lumikai to name a few.
