HELLO THERE!
Wabisabi Media Works was born out of equal parts curiosity, creativity, and a shared love for building things that matter. Founded by designer Shilpa Kulkarni and software engineer Chetan Khanna, we’re a small but mighty media studio where thoughtful design meets smart tech.
Shilpa is a graphic designer with a Master’s in marketing, a self-taught design journey, and a knack for blending culture with clarity. Her career began in a multinational ad tech company and took her through nonprofit marketing and freelance gigs across branding, packaging, and wedding design. She now brings that rich, multidisciplinary experience to Wabisabi — crafting everything from elegant wedding collaterals to bold brand identities, with a little bit of strategy and a whole lot of soul.
Chetan brings over a decade of experience in software engineering, including several years at one of the MAANG giants. He’s worked across product architecture, systems design, and business-driven development — and now helps shape Wabisabi’s tech backbone, while also pursuing his passion for photography.
After years in our respective industries, we wanted to create something of our own — a studio where design is intentional, tech is thoughtful, and the work feels personal. That’s how Wabisabi came to life.
And like all good things, Wabisabi is a work in progress — beautifully imperfect, always evolving, and open to what’s next.
They say it takes a village to raise a baby — and this is ours.
We’re so glad you’re here.
Thank you!
