WHO ARE WE & WHAT DO WE DO ? It’s never simple describing what we do. Creating harmony and balance from various elements is never easy. We endeavour to fuse the art of colour, creativity, imagination and fun with the science of precision & quality. We are a creative & production hub and we do a lot of stuff amazingly well: Though our roots are in design and creative, We’ve evolved organically over the years to incorporate production and events enhancement services and most recently launched our urban wear division. In this publication, we focus on our creative & design division. We believe and plan on remaining small enough to dedicate the attention to detail, creativity, fun and commitment to all projects as we have always done from the start. . Here is a great effort at describing magic... Regards The Team

The journey of creating is a lonely one

we are grateful to share it’s path with you
