My name is Saikat Banerjee, but they call me banskt, and so do I. I have an obsession with smart and simple designs. I wear a pair of nerdy glasses, and I enjoy creating awesome websites, logos and print materials. That quite sums it up.
I was born in the small town of Baidyabati near Kolkata, India in the month of September, 1985. I had a good academic record throughout, and presently, I am a graduate (Ph.D) student at IISc. Sometimes, I myself wonder how I became a graphic designer !!! Well, I had a training of fine arts for eight years, Then I started learning graphic designing. After years of hard work, I learnt the tools of the trade. I started doing freelance work from 2008, to be more specific, March 2008.
I love having a versatile and wide range of capabilities because it keeps me motivated and interested in different ways of approaching design. With every new project, I like to improve and develop my skills and abilities.
