Ideas people
notice.
Interfaces people
get.

I connect the energy of advertising with the rigour of product design — turning business goals into digital commerce people can understand and act on.

01 — Selected case notes

Built for the
real world.

The work sits where a brand promise meets a deadline, a platform and a customer decision. Some current projects are commercially sensitive, so these notes focus on my role and thinking.

CASE 04 / CREATIVE LEADERSHIP

Shopinc.com

CAMPAIGN→CART

Make the offer
feel worth it.

Owned visual direction across eCommerce channels, turning daily deals and seasonal moments into a recognisable, responsive shopping experience.

The job was equal parts concept, craft and coordination: shape the idea, make the system, then help the team ship it consistently.

02 — What I bring

I don’t stop
at pretty.

A creative idea matters when it helps the business, fits the platform and survives delivery.

The work behind the work

Care in every detail.
Fun in the making.

I keep building the designer I am, one idea, one experiment and one carefully considered detail at a time. Serious about the craft. Always curious enough to play.

The long way
was useful.

I started with hands-on graphic design, moved through advertising and retail, then into eCommerce leadership and regional digital platforms. Every chapter still shows up in how I think.

05 — Early archive

Screens were never
the whole story.

Early advertising, identity, FMCG, packaging and in-store activation taught me to design beyond the artboard — for the place, the product and the person standing in front of it.

06 — A little context

Graphic designer by foundation.
Digital designer by evolution.
Problem solver by habit.

Arun Sudhakar standing beside boats at a mountain-backed marinaARUN / DUBAI / 2026

I’m a Senior Digital Designer at Cheil Worldwide in Dubai, working on Samsung Gulf. My route into digital wasn’t a straight line — and that has become an advantage.

I can think like an advertising creative, organise like a product designer and understand the pace of eCommerce. I’m calm with complex briefs, direct in collaboration and particular about the final five per cent.

Now I’m looking for a team where that range is useful: ambitious work, thoughtful people and room to make a visible difference.
