Uma Gokhale
Artist • Visual Identity Designer • Founder, 83 Oranges®
Born of two worlds — American roots and an Indian soul — my work blends bold color, modern minimalism, and expressive storytelling. What began as a passion-led art practice grew into a globally licensed studio, with over 1 million prints sold worldwide through retailers including Anthropologie, Target, Nordstrom, John Lewis, and more.
Before founding 83 Oranges®, I spent over 18 years working as a graphic, surface, and web designer for multinational brands. Today, I work independently with select clients who value originality, clarity, and strong visual identity.

How We Work
- Tell me about your goals
→ Use the form below to share your vision, timeline, and investment range. - We’ll assess fit and direction
→ You’ll receive a tailored proposal (not a generic price list). - We begin with clarity and confidence
→ Work starts only when scope, outcomes, and timing are aligned.
🚫 Who This Isn’t For
To make sure our engagement is effective for both of us, this studio isn’t the right fit if you’re looking for:
❌ Low-budget hourly design tasks
❌ One-off templated edits with no creative direction
❌ Bargain design work or pure execution without strategy
This space is for people who value visual voice, clarity, and distinction — not commodity outputs.
About The Studio
83 Oranges® by Uma Gokhale
Born in the United States and spending her early childhood there, she was surrounded by a culture of individuality and self-expression. Later moving to the colorful and culturally rich landscapes of India, she absorbed its intricate patterns, vivid hues, and tropical beauty. This unique cross-cultural journey shapes her distinctive style—an uplifting fusion of bold colors, tropical motifs, and modern minimalism using a unique blend of handmade drawings + graphic art.
My Work.
art + design
Before acting on a dream and a leap of faith, Uma worked as a graphic, surface & web designer for several multinational companies, with an experience of over 18 years in this industry. In 2014, her passion became her career when she founded her 83 Oranges® studio. Her art & custom design endeavor soon eclipsed her 9-5 job and she sold over 1 million prints worldwide.
We’re always excited to collaborate remotely worldwide & in-person in Mumbai or Pune. We also team up with architects & interior designers across the globe with exclusive trade pricing & custom options. Our goal is to keep learning & doing it at the forefront, along with other creatives, mutually exchanging ideas & delivering design that we’re proud of and that keeps us intrigued.
