About
Hi, I'm Sowmya.
I'm a mother of two and a freelance designer based in Dubai. My days move between school runs, singing classes, design files, and the occasional travel plan.
I'm an engineer turned creative freelancer — I did my B.Tech in Electronics and Communication from Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati. I spent six years at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Bangalore as a Deputy Manager in the Flight Test Centre and Rotary Wing Research and Design Centre, working on mobile telemetry and FDR data processing.
When my daughter arrived, I took a long career break — close to ten years, during which my son was also born — to be present while my kids were growing up. During that time I ran a kids' YouTube channel for a few months and quietly fell in love with creative tools like Canva and Filmora.
In 2025 I started learning AI and website design more seriously, and for the last few months I've been freelancing — building websites and creating social media designs with the help of AI tools.
My design work now has its own home: Sowmya Digital Design, where I design and build websites, web apps and social media creatives for small businesses.
Singing & Carnatic music
Music has always been my home. I'm currently learning Carnatic music — slowly, patiently.
Travel & new places
I love seeing how people live in different parts of the world. Every trip is a small reset.
Family first
Mother of two. The years at home with my children shaped how I think about care and craft.
Design & AI
Modern design tools and AI — I love the leverage they give a small studio.
