Resume - Let’s create the future together!

Nupoor Phadke is an illustrator and abstract artist currently based in the Bay Area.

Nupoor is a culturally rooted and forward-thinking illustrator with over 2 plus years of experience, balancing internships and freelance projects that sharpen her craft. She has contributed to spot illustrations, story blogs, social media designs, and a variety of content that brings stories to life. Currently finishing her undergrad, she is captivated by how art tells stories, especially the small, quiet moments no one else really notices. She got into illustration because she simply could not stop drawing, whether it was everyday scenes or imaginative characters straight from her mind.

Her work is a vibrant mix of playful kids’ book scenes full of fun, blended with bold, bright pieces that feel a little out there, like if Amelia Bedelia met The Fifth Element. Her art lives in that sweet spot where moments shift, surprise, and make you feel something fresh. She aims to create art that feels real and alive, always exploring those in-between spaces where magic happens.

In her final year pursuing a BFA in Illustration, she loves telling stories through vector-based visuals that make products friendlier, more human, and undeniably appealing. She is passionate about crafting narrative-driven visuals that enhance user experience and elevate product quality. On top of that, she brings strong skills in cross-functional collaboration, UX thinking, and delivering high-impact, futuristic digital products.

Right now, she is building a portfolio with the goal of teaming up with studios, agencies, publishers, and social media companies that genuinely care about stories and design as much as she does.
