Jahnavi Pradeep is an interdisciplinary creative working in arts, media, and education. She is an alum of Mount Holyoke College, where she double majored in English and Film Media Theater. After her undergraduate studies, she was a fellow for an Open Space Documentary Arts Program, and has worked with spaces such as Auroville Film Institute, University of Ladakh, and the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, Ladakh.

Jahnavi’s practice as an artist is a parallel development to her search for roots and identity. Her projects have taken her across landscapes – Karnataka, Ladakh, Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu – reiterating her creative journey as an ongoing process of remembering and building connections across time and space. Experimenting with writing, film, photography, archiving, and new media formats such as installations, her works have been recognized at prestigious festivals and award circuits.

As both an independent artist and freelance consultant, Jahnavi’s professional experience spans creative direction, curricular design, research and content development, and writing and editorial work. She has worked with publishing/media houses, NGOs, art and therapy studios, advertisement agencies, and film projects, among others. Her work across pedagogy and storytelling is rooted in critical inquiry, with a commitment to making spaces more inclusive and intentional.

Jahnavi is the creative director of Buraansh Studio. Please contact her if you wish to learn more about her freelance work, agency work, or want access to her professional resume.
