Biography
Born and raised in Bangalore, Pooja grew up in a city that was as chaotic as it was inspiring, just like creativity itself. From an early age, she was drawn to art, colors, and storytelling, always eager to explore new ways of expressing herself. Architecture became her first creative playground, but along the way, she realized it wasn’t just about designing spaces—it was about how people experience them.
Designing buildings was exciting, but designing experiences felt even more thrilling. What began as an appreciation for design soon opened the door to a deeper fascination with digital storytelling. Now, she’s pursuing a Master’s in Digital Media at Toronto Metropolitan University, diving into animation, interactive design, and AR/VR—finding new ways to bring ideas to life and create experiences that draw people in (sometimes literally).
Her design style? Immersive, expressive, and vibrant. Whether she's illustrating, animating, or conceptualizing interactive experiences, she thrives on creating worlds people can step into. Outside of work, she’s usually painting (decent but enthusiastic), making DIY decor, chasing sunshine, or indulging in her love for fashion.
Why Digital Media?
Architecture gave me structure, but digital media gave me freedom. I eventually realized I wasn’t drawn to buildings as much as I was to how they were represented, visualized, and experienced. I loved crafting immersive presentations, setting up 3D scenes, and designing engaging narratives around spaces. That’s when I knew—what excited me wasn’t just architecture, but the storytelling behind it.
I wanted to create experiences without limits. Spaces that weren’t bound by walls but could exist in digital worlds. That’s what led me here—to a field where I could merge art, technology, and storytelling in ways that feel limitless.
