A Design Studio Built From The Ground Up In Chandigarh
Creative Junkyard started with one person taking on freelance projects — first for a handful of businesses in Chandigarh, then for clients overseas once word got around. Freelancing kept costs down for the people hiring us, and that mattered, because most of our early clients were small businesses that needed real design work but couldn’t afford a full agency to get it.
That freelance run is what built the studio. Creative Junkyard today is a full team — web designers, graphic designers, developers, and digital marketers — working out of two offices, in Chandigarh and Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. The freelance side never went away, either: we still work with a group of specialists we’ve partnered with for over 10 years, brought in project by project depending on what a brief needs. They’re as much a part of Creative Junkyard as anyone on the in-house team.
The name is a nod to where good ideas actually come from — not a polished boardroom, but a pile of scraps, half-finished sketches, and things other people threw out too early. We dig through the mess until something worth building rises out of it. That’s the whole philosophy: less about looking impressive on a pitch deck, more about making things that work.
Why The Name
Every studio has a version of the same story — clean lines, big ambitions, a mission statement. We picked “Junkyard” instead, because that’s closer to how design actually happens: you take what’s lying around — a bad first draft, an old brand mark, a client’s half-formed idea — and you rebuild it into something that earns its place. We’ve never seen the point in pretending otherwise.
Run By Two Partners
Creative Junkyard is run day to day by two partners, Pinki Sharma and Devender Sharma, who’ve worked together for years to build it into what it is today. Pinki runs client coordination, project delivery, and the studio’s social media and SEO work; Devender leads creative direction, design, and the technical side of projects.
Who We Work With
Fifteen years in, our client list spans pharma companies, hospitality brands, immigration consultancies, FMCG businesses, and real estate developers, alongside international B2B clients we’ve supported on a white-label basis for agencies abroad. Locally, that means Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, and Shimla. Beyond India, we’ve built long-running relationships with businesses in the UK, US, Canada, UAE, and Australia — including Leaf Hunters, a Norwegian tea brand we’ve supported on branding and design work for several years.
How We Work
Every project starts the same way: we figure out what the business actually needs before we open a design file. From there, brand strategy and identity come first — logo, tone, visual language — because a website built before the brand is settled tends to need rebuilding within a year. Once that foundation is solid, we move into web design and development, and layer in SEO and digital marketing so the site doesn’t just launch — it gets found.
Domain and hosting are handled in-house too, mostly because we got tired of clients being bounced between three different vendors for one website.
