Shreya Sen has a background in Animation Film Design. She’s been a graphic designer, an illustrator, and is now a design faculty at a university in Gujarat. She runs on books, wild imagination, and just a sprinkle of procrastination. When she’s not sketching or teaching, you’ll find her drifting off into daydreams about cloud castles, giggling monsters, and worlds where everything is made of crayons.
