ORIGINS
PROJECT AGNI
In a realm where demons are sealed within ancient sanctums, a reckless warrior’s need to prove himself ignites a divine flame—one that could save his sister, or burn the world.
What began as a short story quickly grew into something much larger. Set in a fantasy world inspired by ancient India, Agni has evolved through multiple mediums—from prose to comics and now animation. The project serves as an ongoing exploration of myth, family, and destiny, while acting as the foundation for a larger universe.

project arunala
In a parched land, a young boy's encounter with a mysterious stranger leads him on a journey of discovery and transformation in the ancient city of Arunala, culminating in an act of personal charity.
Originally conceived as a short story, Arunala expanded into a feature film concept through development and worldbuilding. The project was further refined as part of a pitch for Laika's development program which provided an opportunity to deepen its characters, themes, and richly imagined setting.
PROJECT VANGUARD
In a world where humanity clings to life through destructive technology, a lone warrior from a lost war embarks on a ruthless mission to dismantle the power sustaining civilization—no matter the cost.
Set within the world of Arunala, Vanguard is a one-shot comic that explores a darker corner of the universe through the eyes of one of its most enigmatic warriors. Inspired by the character-driven storytelling of seinen manga, the project allowed me to experiment with a grittier tone while expanding the mythology of the larger world.
