About
Sunanda’s latest venture is Studio Sunanda, a creative studio dedicated to celebrating those who march to the beat of their own drum through creative illustrations and intentional art.
Most days, you’ll find Sunanda in a cozy corner, absorbed in a good book. As a voracious reader of non-fiction, she shares reviews and book lists on her Substack newsletter, Shelf Help.
In the first chapter of her professional life, Sunanda spent 12 years designing and leading learning programs at large multinational companies. Sunanda has a master’s in education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and is a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach.
In this current chapter… well, we’re figuring it out! Right now it looks like leaning into core values (curiosity, courage, and connection) and infusing life with equal parts of rigor, rest, and delight.
