Gopi is a rare jack-of-all-trades and master of them all. As creator, innovator, developer, artist, designer, and sculptor, he can whip up a print ad, develop a game, create an animated character, design a movie poster, redo your living room, or paint you a picture. CNN dubbed him a 21st Century Visionary when his brainchild, the iBangle, won Best Product of the Year 2008.
Today, he is a prolific publicity designer, having designed posters across Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam cinema. Gopi's foray into the production design space kicked off with Amazon Prime's Modern Love Chennai, an anthology of six films with six unique geographies, colours, and architectural styles.
