About Shaunak Vilekar

I’m a visual storyteller at heart, with a love for turning complex ideas into simple, striking designs. From branding and advertising to 3D, motion graphics, and immersive learning content, I’ve spent my career exploring how creativity can solve real problems and connect with people.Today, I lead creative teams that bring learning to life through animation, VFX, 3D, and user-focused design. Whether it’s a training module or a full-blown multimedia experience, I believe design should do more than look good. It should make you feel, think, and remember.Outside of work, I’m a proud father of one and married to the love of my life. I enjoy cycling, running, and creating abstract geometric art. I’m big on working with curious, kind, and driven people, and building a culture where creativity, honesty, and good vibes lead the way.
