Hello there!
I'm Charlie™ (Praveen Charles)
seasoned digital creative director
Who's Charlie, The Man?
Keep reading to unravel how that came about. Here is the story (if you will!) behind
my identity – Charlie™. Whenever any issue pops its unsightly head at my workplace, my co-workers say in unison,
and I quote “lets call Charlie, the Man” to fix it. That’s right. It began with just one dude or two in my team to coin the term. Soon enough, it slowly snowballed beyond my team to other teams and even beyond.
And you know, what they say. Your reputation precedes you. Over the years and at multiple organizations that I’ve been fortunate enough to work in, I was the fix-it-all person for whatever was thrown my way – Charlie the Man.
​
Over the last twenty plus years, I have been leading creative teams to deliver my clients’ marketing messages and
digital roadmaps through persuasive omni-channel communication designs.
​
I have been entrusted with a role as an Experience Design Practice Head, India for EPAM Systems, mentoring the design fraternity on user experience design, art, and technology.
​​
I am a strong believer in practicing the rise of immersive experience concepts such as virtual reality,
augmented reality, chatbots, and voice-based assistants that are shaping brands to come closer to their consumers
to make it a memorable seamless experience!

Experience
20+ years and still learning, I've had the privilege to work among gen X, Y and Z user groups
empathizing with their needs and shaping brands to communicate through contextual content, design and technology.
It's has been an exciting journey so far in crafting digital brand experiences that bring out a positive influence
on people across omnichannel.
