Shreya Dwivedi
Shreya Dwivedi | Graphic Designer & Creative Writer from Thane
From Thane, Maharashtra, Shreya is a graphic designer and writer whose work is equal parts sass, sparkle, and playful chaos. Whether she’s crafting a cheeky, relatable article or designing visuals that grab attention, Shreya’s style feels like a gossip session you didn’t know you needed bold, warm, and just dramatic enough to stick in your mind.
Her inspiration didn’t come from a single “aha” moment but from years of observing how people connect, miscommunicate, and turn fleeting moments into stories. What makes her work unique is her ability to dissect everyday life, tease out the humor, and wrap it in vibrant design or witty prose. For Shreya, art is as much about personality as it is about polish which is why her pieces always carry her distinct voice: observant, mischievous, and unapologetically real.
Self-taught and fueled by curiosity, Shreya has been honing her craft for 4–5 years, drawing inspiration from writers and storytellers like Manto, Carrie Bradshaw, Amrita Pritam, and Bollywood films. Her creative journey includes magazine design and writing for her college, working with The Hosteller on top-ranking travel blogs, and even directing shoots alongside international creatives.
