Turning creativity into something that glows.
I have always been fascinated by art, not just by how beautiful it looks, but by the emotions, stories and meanings hidden behind every creation.
My journey with art began with a very special inspiration. My first art teacher was Padma Shri awardee Shri Sudarsan Pattnaik, whose work taught me that art can communicate ideas, emotions and stories without saying a single word. That early connection with art stayed with me and continues to inspire the way I look at creativity.
Currently, I am pursuing my MBA in Rural Management from XIM University, Bhubaneswar, where I continue to explore people, ideas, communities and the ways in which creativity can create meaningful experiences.
My Belief
I believe creativity is not limited to artists. It belongs to everyone.
Sometimes, all we need is the right medium to bring an idea from our imagination into reality.
Through NeonDraw, I want to create that medium and encourage people to draw, experiment, express and create without limits.
Why NeonDraw?
NeonDraw was born from a simple thought: What if drawing could be more than putting pencil on paper?
I wanted to create something that brings together creativity, light and imagination in a way that feels exciting and interactive.
Whether it is a child discovering their creativity, a student experimenting with ideas, an artist exploring a new medium, or someone simply looking for a unique way to express themselves, NeonDraw is designed to make creativity more engaging.
The Vision
NeonDraw is more than just a product for me. It is the beginning of a journey to make creativity more accessible, engaging and enjoyable.
I hope to build NeonDraw into a brand that inspires people to discover the creator within themselves and see art not just as something to look at, but as something to experience.
This is just the beginning. Welcome to NeonDraw.
