Hi, I’m Prathamesh Bhanap, an Art Director/Designer based out of Toronto, Ontario.
Welcome to my portfolio.
Before we start talking business, here are a few things which you'd love to know about me -

As a dedicated and hard-working professional, I have been working with Salmon & Co, an advertising agency for the past six years. During this time, I grew from a Junior Designer straight out of college to becoming the Head of Art. I played a vital role in the company's success, contributing to many of its high-profile projects throughout the years and helping to establish the company as a powerhouse of creativity.

My story
For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with graphic design, and all the credit for my obsession goes to my father, who was a graphic designer back in the day. I still have vivid memories of my father working on his projects until late at night, and me sitting in one corner of the room just enjoying the master at work. Little did I know back then, that just watching someone work would help me become what I am today.
As the years passed by, I became the go-to kid for any sort of arts and crafts related projects in school. Not that I was a dull kid in my class, but I surely wasn't one of the brightest ones. But that never bothered me much as my interests were more artistic than academic. By the end of each academic year in my school, my classroom got filled with my arts and craft projects, and everyone used to praise me for that, regardless of who topped our class.
But as I got older, I was forced by my family to become more academic due to peer and societal pressure. Even my father, who was going through a rough patch in his career, didn't want me to become a graphic designer. So when the time came to pick a field for my further studies, I ended up choosing physics, and that marked the end of my art career. My physics journey started well, but eventually, it was evident to me that this wasn't my calling. So, one day I just sat down with my parents and had a heartfelt conversation about pursuing what I loved most - Design. After a long and seemingly endless conversation, they finally agreed.
Ever since that day, I fully dedicated my life to pursuing design, getting two art-related diplomas in the process. I turned my passion into my profession and never worked for a single day in my life ever since. Six years down the line in the advertising and design industry, I find myself still being that kid watching countless masters at work, getting inspired by them, reinterpreting their ideas, and implementing them by adding my touch, only in the pursuit to become the best art-kid in the largest classroom ever known to mankind called Earth.
