VERMONT COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS (VCFA)
Shruthi is the legitimate love-child of strategy and creativity. With more than 10 years of advertising experience, her background is as varied and diverse as the creative she produces. With a traditional design education, she brings together a variety of creative disciplines and experience — by which she is able to supply not merely design, but rather a crafted product which feels together, connected and harmonized via one creative approach which bleeds the same blood throughout the elements. Her design sensibilities are heavily inspired by traditional print design and a love for diverse cultural history. She currently works as a Designer/Art Director at Cactus, Denver while pursuing her MFA in Graphic Design from Vermont College of Fine arts, with goals of molding minds of future designers.
