I edit, design and give away the tools I use.

Hi, I’m Hari Krishna, a creative professional from Kerala, India, born in 1992.

Ever since I was young, I’ve seen the world differently. Whenever I travel, see an interesting place, or even notice an ordinary object, my mind instantly starts imagining stories, scenes, and visuals. That curiosity is what first pulled me into the creative world.

After finishing school, I began learning video editing, graphic design, animation, VFX, and motion graphics. I loved creating things and spent years improving my skills through practice and real-world projects.

In 2016, I took a big step and started a small creative business with the support of my family and two close friends. I believed we could build something meaningful. To make it happen, I took out a bank loan and accepted the responsibility of running the business. My dream was to create videos, advertisements, and creative content for businesses and brands.

Reality, however, was much harder than I expected.

The projects didn’t come in as I had hoped, so we started taking on wedding photography, video editing, album design, and event work to keep the business running. Although that wasn’t the original vision, we did whatever we could to move forward.

Then everything changed.

I met with a serious accident that kept me in bed for nearly a year. After surgery on my foot, recovery was slow and painful. During that time, the business struggled, debts increased, and financial pressure kept growing. Eventually, I had no choice but to close the company. It was one of the most difficult periods of my life.

Many people said I had failed.

But my family told me something I’ll never forget: “Closing a business doesn’t mean you’ve failed. As long as you don’t give up, you haven’t lost.”

Those words stayed with me.

Soon after, the pandemic arrived, and like everyone else, I found myself at home with time to think. I realized something important: I had lost a business, but I hadn’t lost my skills.

So I started again.

I returned to video editing, graphic design, and freelancing. I learned blogging, built websites, created digital content, and slowly rebuilt my career. Step by step, I paid off my debts and started moving forward again.

Then AI entered my creative journey.

Instead of seeing AI as something to fear, I chose to learn it. I spent countless hours understanding AI tools, prompt writing, creative workflows, and how technology could improve my work without replacing creativity. AI became another tool that helped me work faster, explore new ideas, and continue learning every day.

That’s how Ri Imprint was born.

I created Ri Imprint with a simple goal: to bring creativity, technology, and storytelling together in one place. It serves as my portfolio, my blog, and a growing library of resources for creators. Here you’ll find tutorials, articles, AI prompts, templates, presets, creative tools, movie recommendations, and everything I learn along the way.

Some resources are free, while others are premium. Creating quality digital products takes time, research, and continuous improvement. Selling premium resources helps me continue building Ri Imprint, while free content ensures that anyone can learn and grow, even if they can’t afford to spend money.

Today, Ri Imprint is more than just a website.

It’s a reflection of my journey, my failures, my lessons, and my belief that creativity never stops evolving. If something I create helps another designer, editor, student, or creator move one step forward, then Ri Imprint has fulfilled its purpose.
