How I work

Brief in.
Production out.

This isn't something I tested once and moved on. It runs on every project at DriveU. I use AI tools to go from a brief to ready-to-publish artwork faster, without the usual back-and-forth. Five steps, every time.

Santhosh Kumar M working on a campaign brief Studio · 2026

Animation school, agency years, brand work now. I usually cut half the brief before I open Figma. Whatever's left always turns out better.

I started in CG and motion design, and that background taught me one thing: less is usually better. Working frame by frame makes you very aware of what doesn't need to be there. I carry that same thinking into every brand project I take on. And living in Bengaluru — where outdoor ads are everywhere — gives me a free design critique every time I step outside.
