Hi, I’m Amar Karthik. My journey into the world of web development, digital marketing, and entrepreneurship began when I was just a lonely kid with a computer and a spark of curiosity. Over the years, I’ve transformed that curiosity into a fulfilling career and built a life I’m truly passionate about.

Where It All Began

As a young boy, I spent a lot of time alone, often exploring the internet on my computer. At 11, I came across an ad promising quick money online. Though it turned out to be spam, it sparked something in me. I began researching how to earn money online, starting with Paid-To-Click websites. Earning my first dollar after weeks of effort was a small step, but it inspired a big dream.

While exploring these platforms, I noticed how poorly designed many websites were. That observation led me to dive into web design, learning HTML and CSS through trial and error. By 13, I had developed a strong foundation and a growing passion for creating better digital experiences.

The Start of UnikBrushes

At 14, I began offering web design services under the name Designz5233, later rebranding it to UnikBrushes in 2016. This name symbolized my commitment to unique and creative designs. Initially, I worked on small projects like logos, banners, and basic website designs. What mattered most to me was not the money but the opportunity to learn, grow, and create something meaningful.

UnikBrushes has since evolved into a comprehensive digital services company, offering everything from web design to branding, SEO, and social media marketing. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with clients from diverse industries, turning ideas into impactful digital solutions.

Learning, Growing, and Expanding

As I honed my skills, I ventured deeper into the world of digital marketing, mastering SEO, social media strategies, and branding. The COVID-19 pandemic became a period of immense growth, allowing me to expand my services and upskill in areas like eCommerce and digital advertising.

I’ve also gained experience working with companies like TechieSys, Alphacode Global, and ParcelPath, handling roles in web development, SEO, and project management. Each role brought new challenges and opportunities, shaping me into the professional I am today.

Creating LearnyHive

In 2023, I co-founded LearnyHive, an educational platform that supports engineering students with curated courses for exam preparation. As the Chief Technology Officer, I oversee platform development, implement marketing strategies, and collaborate with our team to enhance the user experience. LearnyHive has now reached over 10,000 students, a milestone that reinforces my belief in the power of technology and education.

A Mission Close to My Heart: Friendometry

One of my most fulfilling ventures is partnering with Friendometry, a platform tackling childhood loneliness by connecting families. Having faced similar challenges as a child, this mission resonates deeply with me. At Friendometry, I lead efforts in digital marketing, website development, and growth strategies to expand its reach. It’s a project that combines my professional expertise with a cause I truly care about.

Finding Balance Beyond Work

While I’m passionate about my work, I also value the time I spend exploring the world on my motorcycle. Riding through hilly terrains and foggy landscapes brings me a sense of freedom and peace, helping me recharge and stay inspired.

A Journey of Growth and Discovery

Reflecting on my journey, I’ve learned that curiosity and persistence are powerful tools for growth. From earning my first dollar online to building UnikBrushes, co-founding LearnyHive, and partnering with Friendometry, each step has been a valuable learning experience.

As I continue on this path, I’m excited to embrace new opportunities, explore fresh ideas, and create meaningful solutions that make a difference.

Thank you for reading about my journey. Feel free to explore my portfolio and learn more about the work I do.
