Hey, I'm Varun. I've been figuring out creative tech since 2013.


It started with me teaching myself photo editing, then video, then motion graphics and Cinema 4D. No school, no mentor, just YouTube tutorials and a lot of late nights. Somewhere along the way I stumbled into AR filters, and that changed everything.


Fast forward to today: I'm one of the few people in the world who holds official creator status on all three major platforms. Meta partner for AR. Snap Lens Network creator. YouTube Effects Trainer and Alpha Tester.


My filters have crossed 3 billion impressions across brands like Heinz, Cadbury, Unilever, and Universal Pictures.

Before going independent, I spent years as a Creative Technologist at Hogarth WPP, building enterprise AR campaigns for global brands.


I also ran my own agency for a bit. Learned a lot, shut it down, kept moving.

These days I split my time between two things I care about. Building AI content tools at SendFame and helping brands ship AR and AI experiences that actually land with their audience.


I've also trained 20,000+ people across platforms, which taught me that most brands don't need more tech. They need someone who can tell them what's worth building.

If that sounds like what you need, let's talk. I work best with teams who have a clear vision and want someone who can turn it into something real, fast.
