Senior Graphic Designer & Production Specialist · Dubai, UAE

Jithin Prasannan

From key visual to finished build: retail displays, duty-free activations and brand identities.

About

Seven years turning brand KVs into things you can walk up to.

Senior Graphic Designer & Production Specialist at Rely Industries, Dubai, since Sep 2024. I adapt brand key visuals into technical, production-ready designs, then steer the metal, carpentry, acrylic and paint teams from sampling to final build.

Before Rely: print production and design at OBL Prints – Dubai Printing Press and DESCO Copy & Print in Dubai, freelance brand identity work, and an early start in advertising design in India. A diploma in digital marketing helps me design with the campaign in mind.
