rahul pereira

Engineer, designer, beginner.

I'm Rahul Pereira. I trained as a mechanical engineer, fell for advertising design and never left. Twenty-plus years later I lead marketing for brands and builders, run a small agency, and spend my nights in the basement learning macro photography from zero.
