Who is Tanvi?

I chase ideas into weird corners of the internet until they turn into something real. Based in Munich by way of Pune, my work sits at the intersection of systems, culture, and relentless curiosity. From Reddit rabbit holes to global deadlines, I believe the best ideas are collaborative—built by many, but rooted in a distinct perspective. Currently, I’m the #2 Art Director in the world (Cannes Lions 2025), with over 700 international awards across D&AD, One Show, and Fast Company. My portfolio spans everything from space and accessibility to women’s health and cannabis. When I’m offline, I’m archiving imagined creatures, listening to classical music, or watching films in languages I don’t yet understand.
