A little Something About Us
Himanshu Das
Artist, Design & Space Specialist for Retail, Creative Entrepreneur, a disciple of discipline, and lifelong learner. My passion and obsession for art are vividly manifested in my artwork. It’s the fuel that inspires me to deep dive and explore it inconceivable.
It all started in my childhood when I realized the possibilities of all I can create. It was not less than a “EUREKA” moment for me as a kid when I realized that I could put my thoughts on paper with the help of the basic tool ‘a graphite pencil’. Any blank space on my academic course books, empty piece of paper, or a plain wall were my initial canvas. My course books were filled with doodles and random imaginative sketches. It was a bit annoying for my teachers. Above all, my parents and teachers realized that I was not just drawing or copying real-world objects and putting them on paper, what other kids with good drawing abilities would do. Rather, I was sketching through my power of imagination, shapes, forms, and objects that were not even taught to me, nor was I exposed to. Soon, I was the talk of my school for my creative potential. My school tapped into my God-gifted talent and soon I was representing my school on different creative levels. I bagged many prizes in many competitions throughout my schooling days. My parents wanted me to excel more and more and make my creativity my strength, passion and then profession.
I appeared in the entrance exam of the National Institute of Fashion Technology and got 286th rank all over India. During my four years in NIFT, under the Accessories Designing Department, I showed a lot of creativity, learned about aesthetics, product development, fabrication, design software, ergonomics, photography, and presentation skills. It turned out to be more commercial and less artistic in nature.
Before I realized it, I had completed my graduation and was working for a corporate retail company – TESCO UK. In the corporate environment of TESCO, my learning continued for another eight years or so. My professional growth taught me resilience, empathy, communication, innovation, stakeholder management, teamwork, and integrity. It was this very journey that formed the base for me to finally heed to my calling towards my passion and move ahead.

Kids Book Author, Content Writer, Entrepreneur, Core Accountant, Conscious Mother, and a lifelong learner.
Being a parent, over time, I am evolving as a conscious mother to nurture my daughter as a confident, compassionate, and loving individual.
I believe it’s absolutely OKAY, if we feel sometimes, we are not good enough for our child. Life is learning till we die. It’s always adapting, growing, and shifting towards our ever-expanding potential.
Though I learned the importance of reading books during my mid-twenties, my vision is to develop young readers at an early age to break the shackles of ignorance in many forms, live a fulfilling life, and make better decisions in life.
Seeing the magnificent artwork of Himanshu, and given that one of my purposes is to bring a positive difference in the life of children, I am so inspired to write the books for children using his amazing illustrations.
