Read what my clients have to say!

I am the editor of Oregon Home and have been in the magazine publishing for the last 25 years. On request, I’ve written many letters of recommendations for editors and art directors with whom I’ve worked, but this is only the second time in my career that I’ve asked a creative type to let me write a letter of rec for them. This speaks to how talented I believe Ms.Gupta is.

Ms Gupta is an art director beyond her years. I like her understanding of typography and her ability to convey a magazine feature’s tone through its display type treatment. She’s also is great with color. She often dreamed up unconventional color combinations and knows when to use color sparingly.

In a creative world in which too many art school grads are more Photoshop Boys (and girls), it is a joy to have worked with someone like Ms. Gupta.

Malini brought so much unique creativity to Oregon Home magazine. Her color sense is sophisticated and her ability to design comes from a truly artistic mind!

Business card design

Malini is phenomenal to work with! She took so much time getting to know my business and me so that she could craft the perfect logo. If you want a one-of-a-kind logo for your business, or any other graphic design work, you need Malini.

KRISTIN RATTEN

Malini is fantastic to work with. She really takes the time to understand your project and dedicates herself to getting it just perfect for you. We could not be happier with our logo! Plus, she gives you ALLLLL the files you will ever need for marketing/print. Highly Recommenced!

Let me tell y’all about Malini Gupta. If you don’t already know how insanely talented this woman is, you need to book a consultation with her. Even if you think you don’t need any graphic work done right now – you’re wrong. Her brain is constantly thinking of creative ways to illustrate things. And she’s better at it than you, ask me how I know… I was on the call with her for less than 10 minutes and she thought up something that made me think, “omg that’s a brilliant idea!” -and I had only given her ONE WORD. And it was a hard abstract one, too – not “apple” or “nerd” or anything easy. Throw your money at her & let her do magic with it. Freaking tiny little genius that she is!

My design philosophy:

I’m passionate about design. Good design. Design that makes you think. Design that connects. Design that evokes an emotional response. I love to push boundaries and think outside the box. I love to create. To innovate. I love experimenting with new materials, ideas and processes, always striving to find new ways of approaching a problem, finding new solutions. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t, but I am satisfied for having tried. I accept my failures as a part of the process, learn from them and move on. But when I am done, I would have created something that’s original and fresh. Design to me is like a journey, a process, and an evolution of form and ideas.

My process driven approach to design and ability to conceptualize as an artist is what sets me apart from other designers.

Reach out to me to get your business off to a flying start!

Looking for something?

So how do you pronounce Ochre?

Break ‘ochre‘ down into sounds: [OW] + [KR]. It’s ow·kr! You got it. Why Ochre? I used to be a water color artist back in India and Ochre was my fave color. According to Marriam Webster’s dictionary, it’s an earthy usually red or yellow and often impure iron ore used as a pigment.

Also, in Indian culture, it’s considered a sacred color. So there’s that.

My office for a couple of hours yesterday and toda My office for a couple of hours yesterday and today. It’s been two glorious days of sunny weather here in #portlandoregon and I just had to take advantage of it. Listening to the running water and with birds as my co-workers, it was epic. 

Last few weeks have been overwhelming for me personally because of losing my beloved mother in #india. 

I had to take last week off to pull myself together. My heartfelt gratitude to all my clients for giving me time and space to grieve 🙏🏽

The big reveal! 😉 Here’s the logo/identity I The big reveal! 😉 Here’s the logo/identity I designed for Catlin Gabel School’s 2021 virtual auction! ❤️

The theme for the gala is a fun, family game night...virtual of course! Kinda like a game show. The  client brief was to design a visual identity that was catchy, bright, retro with a casino or game show feel. The fonts, colors etc were all chosen for their vintage appeal. The TV graphic was created as a nod to the event being virtual. The last two graphics I’ve included in this video are of the other design options I presented the client. (They actually liked all three designs!!!😅) 

Gala invitations are always fun...and this was no exception! 

Hosting a Gala this year? Let’s talk!

😉 Sneak peak at a website redesign I’m curren 😉 Sneak peak at a website redesign I’m currently working on for a local school in Portland. They approached us at @ochre_art_design to revamp the entire website because it was not user friendly at all. 

👉 The first step to our redesign process? Craft a comprehensive Navigation Map - its 2 pages long, phew 😅 - that details clearly how to improve the website’s navigation and overall site design. Why is navigation so important you ask? It improves its usability. When someone visits your website you don’t want to waste their time trying to figure where the content they’re looking for is! 

👉 Also, good navigation can place your website high on search engines. Yep. It improves your website’s SEO! That’s why I spend so much time in creating an effective navigation map prior to designing the website. 

🌼 DM me if you’d like to have your website audited!

Here it is! Logo design for Whole Health in the Sa Here it is! Logo design for Whole Health in the Sates Initiative. 

They are a nonprofit that tries to make healthcare more lifestyle based and prevention focused and that uses the right type of health care provider(s) in a team based, non-pharmacological approach. 

The client brief was to create a logo that was professional, clean, modern and had the US map incorporated into it. And let me tell you - designing a logo with a map, not easy! We went back and forth with so many different concepts!!!! (Swipe to see some of the designs that were rejected) But we finally nailed it! 🙃

Logo design is not for the faint of heart. You really have to get into the client’s head and understand their vision for their brand! 😅

Love happy clients! I just finished designing logo Love happy clients! I just finished designing logo for a  healthcare nonprofit. I sent her all the final logo files and she sends me this email! 😭 

She goes on to say “I am updating our overview documents and they look ONE THOUSAND times better and beautiful with this logo and color scheme.” 😅

For now they are in 3 states on the west coast and soon will replicate their state based healthcare model to all the states in the US and I will get to design the logos for all the states! 😇 🥳 

I will reveal their new logo tomorrow! Stay tuned. 😜
