Ravi Vasavan, an Australian-born designer & art director living and working with his partner and a flamboyant feline companion, inhabiting a pool house in a fair suburb in Sydney.
Ravi commenced his career in a rather unorthodox manner, graduating from crayons earlier than most. At a young age he found himself captivated by the burgeoning online art & design communities. This led him to realise the potential of being visual as a career.
Since then Ravi has gained experience through working at studios and independently as designer and art director, interacting with a wide spectrum of clients.
Aside from the daily grind, Ravi is also a contributor to an array of art & design collectives and portals. He is also often engaged in personal and collaborative projects such as A Boy In Mid Air – http://www.aboyinmidair.com/ , an inspiration blog.
