Ananya Talwar is a Designer, Writer, Strategist, and Art Director with a background that spans architecture, branding, advertising, content, and visual storytelling. Her work is shaped by a strong sense of structure, culture, and craft - bringing together strategic thinking and design instinct to create ideas that feel clear, distinctive, and relevant.

​

She began her creative journey in architecture, studying at Chandigarh College of Architecture, where her work explored design research, spatial thinking, architectural writing, and visual communication. Along the way, she picked up national accolades in design across India, with recognition in architecture journalism and research-led creative work.

​

Her practice gradually expanded beyond built environments into brand identities, campaigns, packaging, digital experiences, publication design, and content-led storytelling. Her work has also been published as part of the Building Paris Project by Alliance Française and the French Embassy in India.

​

Since moving to Dubai, Ananya has worked as a Senior Creative at VML, contributing to projects across advertising, design, and integrated communication. In 2024, she won Gold at the Dubai Young Lynx Competition and was selected as a Creative LIAisons Mentee by the London International Awards - recognition that reflects her growing voice within the regional and global creative industry.

​

Ananya’s craft sits at the intersection of design and language. She brings an architect’s eye for systems, an art director’s instinct for visual impact, and a writer’s sensitivity to meaning. She pushes for work that is globally relevant, culturally aware, and built with clarity from concept to execution.

​

And outside the office, she’s usually writing, dancing, making something by hand, or taking care of her plants.
