Career

After finishing his fine arts diploma from the government College of Fine Arts, Thrissur, instead of pursuing his career as an art director, he started assisting famous art directors Sabu Cyril and Sunil Babu for a few more years to gain expertise in his art direction career. After assisting with Sabu, he got a chance to do the art direction for the movie "Sayahnam", directed by R. Sarath, which fetched him his first Kerala State award for Best Art Direction in 2000.
