The story

Context.
Clarity.
Impact.

I'm Arnit Manchanda — a Senior Visual & Brand Designer based in Delhi, India, with 6+ years of experience building visual systems, brand identities, editorial frameworks, and research communication for some of the world's most recognised companies. I work at the intersection of information design, brand thinking, and editorial craft — translating complex ideas into clear, structured systems that help people understand and decide.

Currently at Material, a US and UK-based enterprise design consultancy, I've owned end-to-end design across 300+ projects for 20+ Fortune 500 clients spanning SaaS, tech, FMCG, healthcare, entertainment, film, fashion, consulting, and security. Before that I spent two years at UpGrad Enterprise — India's largest EdTech platform — where I was promoted from Visual Artist to Senior Editorial Lead within 12 months.

My background is international by design. I studied New Media Arts at the Polish-Japanese Academy of IT in Warsaw (2018–2021, grade 4.84/5), worked in an EU corporate environment in Poland, and have spent my career embedded within American and British teams and clients. An academic information design research project — The Civic City / Inscriptions — was exhibited at Palais de la Porte Dorée in Paris. I'm not relocating cold: I'm returning to a professional context I know.

I'm actively seeking senior design roles, agency partnerships, and long-term freelance or retainer engagements in Europe — where I can bring Fortune 500-tested design thinking, international fluency, and a deep commitment to design that earns its place on the page.

Three lenses.
Every project.

01
Context first

Every project starts with the problem, not the deliverable. Who needs to understand what, and why does clarity matter here? The best design decisions come from deeply understanding the audience, the stakes, and the system the work lives within.

02
Structure creates clarity

Complex information doesn't simplify itself — it needs an architecture. I build visual frameworks that impose hierarchy without losing nuance: grids, typographic systems, narrative flows, and data hierarchies that make dense material legible at a glance.

03
Design for impact

Good design creates measurable outcomes. A 90% pitch conversion rate. A 35% reduction in production time. 20% higher engagement. I measure success not by how the work looks, but by what it enables the people who see it to do.

Let's work
together.
