Anantha Krishnan Sudeesh Kurup is a lot to type. Let’s just go with Nadamel, a name I stole from my own family.
My dad’s a designer. I grew up watching him work, studied visual art and graphic design myself, and that’s still where most of my judgement about structure and detail comes from.
I’m drawn to projects where the system has outgrown its own logic, where the mess is the interesting part. My instinct is to slow down and understand what’s actually happening before I touch anything. When I get stuck, I’ve learned to read it as a signal rather than a setback, usually a sign I’m asking the wrong question, and the fix is reframing, not forcing.
I design and build, one loop, not two separate skills.
Outside work I ship my own things, usually alone or with one other person, start to finish. I also make visual art.

Visual art has run alongside my design work for years,
sometimes in the foreground, sometimes in the background.

The Sketchbook
I make things outside of product too, illustration, digital art, colour studies, small experiments. No brief, no client, just practice, just art.
Beyond the Portfolio!
I’m a Malayali at heart, living in Cologne, Germany. Kerala is home. I enjoy gardening, fishing, cooking good food for the people I care about, and getting lost in art, films, and music. I’ve been a tech nerd since childhood, built my dream PC piece by piece, and still love gaming. Art is a part of me you won’t find in a case study, but it quietly shapes how I think, create, and solve problems.
