writer. tough cookie.

Hi, I’m Harini! I’m a creative writer with five years of experience in advertising and marketing. In 2023, I moved from Bangalore to Berlin and fell completely in love with this eccentric, bustling city. Apart from my job as a Content Specialist at IU International University, I spend my time between the cinema (special thanks to the Yorck Kino card) and my latest favourite class on Urban Sports Club.

Some things I love: dogs. A fat chocolate chip cookie. Summer-time. Video essays on pop culture. Pinterest. A good yap sesh. Books with unhinged female protagonists. Deadlifts. Journalling. YouTube deep dives. Fashion. The movie 13 Going On 30.

Some things I do not love: yoghurt. And capital letters in headings (not sure who influenced me more, e. e. cummings or ariana grande).
