HELLO THERE!
Hi, I’m Shilpa Kulkarni — designer, storyteller, and the heart behind SMCK Designs.
SMCK was born out of my love for thoughtful design, meaningful storytelling, and that sweet spot where strategy meets creativity. This boutique studio is where I bring ideas to life — whether it’s a wedding that deserves its own visual story, or a brand that’s ready to make its mark.
I specialize in wedding design that’s rooted in tradition but styled for today — from invitations and welcome posters to full event identities. On the flip side, I also work on corporate and brand design, including logos, pitch decks, and packaging that feels as clear as it is considered.
Before launching the SMCK brand, I spent time in the non-profit space and later worked at a multinational ad tech company, both of which shaped how I think about communication — human, strategic, and visually sharp. With a Master’s in business & marketing and a self-taught path into design, I like to think I bring both sides of the brain to every project.
When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me hunting for the best street food or deep in a Star Wars rewatch.
Thanks for stopping by — and if something sparks your interest, let’s chat!
Thank you!
