Hi there, I am Nikitha Raju!

I’m an Illustrator and Surface Designer, creating intricate digital illustrations and repeat patterns for greeting cards, gift & party products, wallpaper, and children’s clothing. My style is relaxed, soft yet playful, full of color, and deeply inspired by nature and my life’s experiences.

But beyond the visuals, art has always been something more for me—it’s been a way to slow down, release overwhelm, and reconnect with myself. Over time, my creative practice transformed from simply designing beautiful patterns into a healing tool. What began as sketching and painting for joy grew into a deeply personal journey of using art as therapy—bringing calm, clarity, and self-discovery back into my life.

Now, I blend these two worlds together: surface design that celebrates beauty and play, and therapeutic art offerings that create space for reflection, healing, and reconnection.

Take me to the art!
