Sajid Wajid Shaikh – Creative Director, 46&2

Sajid Wajid Shaikh is the Creative Director of 46&2, India’s bespoke branding and design boutique, and a self-taught visual artist working across illustration, design, and contemporary art. Known for his experimental visual language of shape, form, color, and line, Sajid creates work that moves fluidly between abstraction and reality—transforming the familiar into surreal, emotionally charged expressions.

He has received some of the industry’s most prestigious honors, including Winner of ADC’s Portfolio Night, ADC Gold Medalist & All Star (2015), and the Kyoorius Design Yatra Blue Elephant for Identity Design. In 2025, he joined the global stage as a jury member for ADC Young Guns, recognizing the next wave of creative talent.

At 46&2, Sajid has led branding, identity, and cultural projects for clients such as Google, Adidas, Meta, Red Bull, PayPal, Bacardi, and Elle, while also pushing the boundaries of design through large-scale installations, murals, and festival identities. His work, often described as bold, witty, and culturally resonant, balances avant-garde aesthetics with strategic clarity, making 46&2 a reference point in contemporary Indian design.
