About Kanika Mathur

I'm a freelance graphic designer from Santa Clara, CA. I enjoy creating designs that are energetic, striking, innovative, functional & textured. My work is inspired by life in suburbia, my childhood spent in India and anything/everything that I see and feel. It is a pleasure to be a part of the talented and inspiring community at Minted.
