The craft behindthe ventures.

Alongside his business roles, Shivane brings hands-on creative execution to his ventures — photography, videography, cinematography, graphic design, and web development. This is the same skill set behind Creative Touch Media’s client work, and it shows up in his own brand-building across every company he’s part of.
