Profile
Deepu
Shaji
Creative Director & cinematographer
I am a multidisciplinary Creative Director with over 5.5 years of professional experience, blending expertise in art direction, 3D exhibition design, cinematography, graphic design, video editing, and photography. I hold a BA in Animation and Graphic Design from Yeldo Mar Baselios College, Kerala – School of Media & Design (affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi University), where I built strong foundations in branding, UI design, motion graphics, packaging, photography, videography, and visual storytelling.
Currently, I lead creative initiatives at Shuraa Advertising, one of the UAE’s top creative agencies, where I direct high-impact campaigns and installations for leading regional and international brands. My role spans concept sketching, 3D modelling and structural design, branding, art direction, cinematography, photography, and video editing—ensuring every project is executed with both creative vision and technical precision.
Key achievements include:
Delivering award-winning campaigns and installations for Dubai Municipality, DEWA, RTA, and Dubai Police, including the high-profile DRC project at Dubai Mall.
Leading the F1 movie promotion installation for VOX Cinemas, a project that combined my passion for motorsports with end-to-end execution (art direction, 3D design, production files, cinematography, and editing).
Designing a permanent M-signage structure at Mall of the Emirates, recognized and appreciated by mall management.
Previously, I gained valuable experience at PureBorn, creating packaging, digital campaigns, and social media designs for the UAE’s leading baby product brand; at OrderStack (Canada), where I boosted online engagement through UI/UX design and branded digital content; and at Yellowtooths, a renowned film poster company in Kerala, where I collaborated with filmmakers and typography artists to create striking movie posters.
My career has been defined by a passion for innovation, storytelling, and immersive design. With each project, I aim to create impactful visuals that not only meet client goals but also inspire audiences.
Most recently, I worked as a creative designer at PureBorn, a leading baby product company, where I was responsible for creating visually appealing and functional packaging for their baby products. My designs focused on highlighting product features, maintaining brand identity, and resonating with parents and carers in a competitive market. I have created engaging social media posts and designed promotional flyers and email formats for customers. To be a part of integrated marketing campaigns, I have designed graphics, banners, and other Web images.
I have gained further experience and knowledge from working at OrderStack, a Canada-based company where I was working as a graphic designer. I was solely responsible for designing illustrations and posters for company websites, generating content from the initial ideas to the finished product, designing social media ads for business professionals and food ventures, and making menu cards and poster designs for restaurants. Since working at Orderstack, their online engagement rates have increased by 24% by creating wireframes and mockups for digital content.
I gained my first experience by working as a graphic designer at Yellowtooths, one of the top film poster companies in Kerala. I was able to collaborate with filmmakers to create movie posters and artwork that met the needs of clients. I was also fortunate to have been trained by experienced digital and typography artists.
