Hi, I'm Haresh, a multi-disciplinary artist and versatile graphic designer with experience across a range of creative industries. Currently based in London. As the lead graphic designer for The Jazz Cafe, a renowned music venue under The Columbo Group, I'm responsible for creating still and animated digital artworks, menus, printed assets, and signage. I'm also involved in producing and editing video content for The Jazz Cafe. Additionally, I'm a designer and co-art director for the multi-year Art Council funded project 'Our Yard,' exploring the influence of Jamaican Soundsystem on British music. I created the brand identity and all graphics associated, as well as designing clothing collections to coincide with launches of new project chapters. With a First Class Honours Architecture degree from the Manchester School of Architecture, I have a keen eye for detail, a passion for sustainable design, and a commitment to excellence. I'm excited to connect with other creatives on this platform and collaborate on new and exciting projects.
