Hi, I’m Sristhi.

​

I’m a multidisciplinary designer and creative problem-solver who loves turning ideas into visuals that feel clear, thoughtful, and connected.I create digital visuals, branding materials, promotional graphics, and creative projects that help ideas feel clear, thoughtful, and connected.

My creative work has grown across student organizations, cultural spaces, restaurants, business clients, campus events, personal projects, and community-centered initiatives. From logos and flyers to branding materials, promotional graphics, and digital content, I create work that helps people, brands, and communities tell their stories visually.

A lot of my creative journey started before I fully realized I was building one. At Queens College, CUNY, I created my own interdisciplinary major in Commerce Design, blending business, design, creativity, and strategy into a path that felt true to me. Around the same time, I was creating graphics for organizations, leading student groups, supporting events, and learning how design could do more than look good. It could communicate, organize, invite, celebrate, and represent.

Community has always been a big part of how I create. Before I had a full portfolio, I was already making things for the people and spaces around me. In high school, that looked like leading a dance club and getting the opportunity to refresh a Student of the Month/appreciation shirt that was given to students throughout the year. Incorporating PAWS and Wildcat school spirit into the design showed me how something visual could help students feel recognized, celebrated, and connected to their school community.

Later, during my undergrad, I co-founded QC SASA with my friend Hema, creating space for South Asian culture, representation, and connection on campus. That experience shaped so much of how I think about design. A flyer was not just a flyer. A logo was not just a logo. A shirt was not just a shirt. Visuals could help people feel included, excited, represented, and proud to show up.

That is the part of design I have always loved.

Over time, my work expanded beyond one campus or one kind of project. I have created visuals for restaurants like Naantastic, business-to-business clients like Entro Wholesale, cultural organizations like QC SASA and UB GISA, student governments, campus divisions, personal business endeavors, and special events, including promotional work connected to Waka Flocka Flame’s performance at Queens College.

Through my work with the UB Career Design Center, I also created student-facing digital content, promotional materials, and brand-aligned visuals that supported events, initiatives, and communication across professional and campus audiences.

Each project taught me something different: how to follow a brand, how to build one, how to design quickly, how to design carefully, how to listen to what someone needs, and how to make something feel aligned with the people it is for.

I like to think of myself as a go-getter, but not in the “I do everything perfectly” way. More like: I ask questions, I observe what is missing, I try things, I learn from people, and I figure out how to turn an idea into something useful and meaningful.

This portfolio is a collection of the work I have created, but it is also a reflection of how I continue to grow. Behind each project is a learning moment, a community, a collaboration, a challenge, or a story that shaped me as a designer, leader, and creator.
