" below. ABOUT VADIVAM® VADIVAM® began in 2013 as a freelance creative practice and was incorporated in 2018. Over 13 years, we've delivered 200+ brand projects, built a strong network of creative collaborators and partners, and worked across a wide range of creative disciplines.

You would work alongside identity designers, a motion designer, an editor and our marketing team, directly with the founder, in-office.
