Hello, I’m Jithin
I turn brand key visuals into print-ready, built-for-real work.
Senior Graphic Designer & Production Specialist at Rely Industries, Dubai, since Sep 2024. I adapt brand key visuals into technical, production-ready artwork, then steer the metal, carpentry, acrylic and paint teams from sampling to final build.
7+ years in the UAE, specialising in print file preparation for large-format print, retail displays and fabrication. Currently delivering artwork for duty-free and travel-retail activations, hypermarket campaigns and Dubai Metro station branding for global spirits and FMCG brands. Before Rely: print production and design at OBL Prints and DESCO Print & Studio, freelance brand identity work, and an early start in advertising design in India.
