Anushka Tendolkar is an Indian illustrator, designer, and art director whose work defies categorisation. She creates visual narratives rooted in play, maximalism, pop culture, biophilia, and identity moving fluidly between branding, experience design, and storytelling.

With more than six years of experience, she has led branding and UI/UX projects in tech startups and worked independently for international clients like Vogue, Adidas, and Adobe. Her practice has been highlighted in magazines like Grazia, Elle, and Vogue as well as an academic book published by Bloomsbury Publishing.

She recently completed her MA in Digital Direction at the Royal College of Art. with Draping Draupadi, a multimedia project exploring nostalgia and the liminality of South Asian diasporic perspectives through the lens of cultural fashion.

Play remains central to her creative ethos, not only as a method but as a mindset. She’s currently exploring new collaborations at the intersection of design, art and technology to create impact.
