About me

Fifteen years of
making things look
and move right.

I'm Bhupendra Bhattarai — a graphic, motion and web designer with fifteen years of hands-on studio experience, most of it built inside the United Arab Emirates' agency world, and now applied from a studio in Kathmandu.

My work sits at the point where a brand's identity, its motion and its digital presence have to agree with each other — a logo that holds up in a sting, a site that carries the same voice as the packaging. I care less about trend and more about whether the work still holds up in two years.

Nepali by upbringing, Gulf-trained by career, and back in Kathmandu by choice — I moved home to bring that standard of craft to Nepal's own businesses, without anyone needing to look abroad for it.

Career path

How I got here

Year 1–3

Starting out in graphic design

Cut my teeth on print and brand identity work — logotypes, stationery systems, retail collateral — learning the discipline of a grid before ever touching a timeline.

Year 4–8

Moving into motion, UAE agency floors

Joined agency teams across the UAE producing brand films, social motion and campaign animation for retail, hospitality and finance clients — where speed and polish both had to be non-negotiable.

Year 9–13

Leading web & digital brand projects

Took on web design and front-end direction for product launches and corporate sites, connecting identity and motion systems into full digital experiences.

Year 14–15

Senior design roles, mentoring juniors

Took on senior creative responsibility — client direction, junior designer mentorship, and ownership of design systems across a growing account list.

Now

Independent studio, based in Kathmandu

Returned to Nepal to work directly with local brands and founders — bringing Gulf-agency standards to identity, motion and web work built at home.
