About Dhathri Gattu

I’m an MA Design graduate from SCAD who found my space in building brands through thoughtful, well crafted design. With a strong focus on branding and packaging, I work across visual identity and communication design to help brands find clarity and stand out with purpose. Curious by nature and always eager to learn, I enjoy collaborating with people who challenge my thinking and sharpen my craft. I care deeply about strong brand systems, visual storytelling, and creating work that feels impactful, relevant, and human.
