ARCHANA NARENDRAN, INK TRAILS ILLUSTRATIONS

This young woman is a trailblazer. And she makes her mark with ink! Yes, you read that right! Say hello to Archana Narendran (Pereira), founder of Ink Trails Illustrations. Via her brand she creates travel based illustrations which find a way into the lives and homes of travel enthusiasts and art lovers as travel souvenirs and unique décor products.

With a background in Architecture and a deep love for art, Archana was drawn to combine her two loves and started illustrating cities, structures, landscapes, people and their lifestyles. She loves it when someone connects with her art and relives special memories.

Having started her journey only two years back, the response Archana and Ink Trails has received is phenomenal. While art comes naturally to Archana, entrepreneurship is something she is learning on the go and she loves every bit of it. From figuring out the right pricing, confidently negotiating with companies that approach her, exploring new corners of India to capture on paper and now setting up her own little studio, Archana, with the support of her family is truly living her dream. As she looks forward  to very exciting times, she feels that “it is never too late to do something that you are really passionate about. Even if it is very new or different to you, the risk is really worth it!”
