Hi, I’m Sravya (pronounced Srav-ya) and I also go by Sravs! I was born in India, raised in South Korea and Hong Kong, and trained as a graphic designer and painter at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
I'm currently based out of Hong Kong working
as an independent illustrator. I am passionate about using my art to empower women and destigmatize mental health.
I want to uplift people with art about mental health, mindfulness and feminism through:
Social Media Campaigns
Brand Advertising
Editorial Illustration
Why I choose to use art as a form of advocacy
I was drawn to visual communication as I used art as a way to visualize my life experiences including grief, depression, journey to mindfulness, and pursuit of happiness. The outcome was not only powerful and moving, but also resonated with many others. (My daily illustrations are visible on my Instagram page).
This made me realize the power and impact that good design and illustration can have on society. I want to work with like-minded individuals and brands to impact communities through illustration and graphic design.
