About Aashti Miller

I am an architect by day and an illustrator by night. I was born and raised in Mumbai, and studied Architecture at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. I am a Henry Adams AIA Medalist, and a licensed Architect in the US and India. I work full-time as an architect and associate for Pickard Chilton, a design studio practicing in New Haven, Connecticut.I am also the sole force behind MillerInk, an illustration and graphic design studio. I construct my drawings in an attempt to make sense of the unexpected collision of my two seemingly disparate worlds. As a result, my aesthetic and style have evolved into detailed drawings that tread the fine line between constructed and painted, digital and analog, two and three dimensional. My work is heavily inspired by and explores spaces, places, and faces.Some of my notable clients are Michael Kors, Cred, and Uniqlo. In 2023, I was selected for the Forbes India 30 under 30 list for Design, Forbes Asia 30 under 30 list for the Arts, and for the POPxo Power Women List.
