My name is Vishnu M Nair and I am an Illustrator, Graphic Designer and Visual Artist based out of New Delhi, India.
—
With a versatile illustration practice and a characteristic storytelling style, my work spans Picture Books, Editorials, Private Commissions, Animation and Brand Design.

When the sun is out:
I work at Codesign, Gurgaon as a Senior Graphic designer, working on Branding and Visual identity projects and leading Illustration Design.

When the sun sets:
I make illustrations & paintings that try and tell a story.
When I am not drawing my own stories, I help brands, authors, artists and friends tell theirs.
