Hello! I’m Divyakshi Kedia, I am an illustrator and designer from Bombay, currently living in New York City with my dog, Chai-Biscuit. I like asking questions, thinking about thinking, and searching for quiet corners in noisy cities.
My work spans illustration, branding, and storytelling, often blending clarity and care with play. I believe in the power of thoughtful design: work that feels intentional, grounded, and a little unexpected.
I have an MFA in Illustration as Visual Essay from the School of Visual Arts and a BFA in Communication Design and Illustration from Parsons School of Design. By day, I work as a designer at Compass, where I specialize in brand systems, and by night, I’m slowly but surely chipping away at my graphic novel about growing up
in Bombay.
Whether I’m illustrating or designing a visual identity, I’m always trying to make something that resonates, something that feels like it was always meant to be that way.
