Kushal Birari is an award-winning Creative Director and Art Director creating campaigns, brand systems, films, social, OOH, and experiential work for global brands.
Hi, I’m Kushal, a Creative Art Director. My journey has taken me across five major cities on three continents, shaping work for some of the world’s biggest brands. Along the way, my work has earned recognition from advertising’s most prestigious award shows.

I like ideas that feel obvious in hindsight.

And at one point, I was ranked #7 in the world in virtual table tennis.
