Designer, Explorer, Curious Cat from Bombay, India.
Designer, Explorer, Curious Cat from Bombay.
I've grown up exploring the narrow lanes, Art Deco bungalows and Portuguese hamlets of Bandra. One of my favourite things is wandering, finding the quirks and stories and showing the places to my friends, who often call me their tour guide.
Even apart from Bombay, I love travelling, living like a local, noticing the small things and learning what makes a place breathe.
This explorer nature goes beyond travel and has influenced me and my work for years.

My Portfolio

My portfolio is a reflection of my mind to catch a glimpse into why I design, the way I think, my influences and my motivations. Laid out like a map, it branches out into different areas of design I’ve explored, with projects placed at the intersections. It’s a visual representation of how I wander through ideas and disciplines, showing my entire design journey.

How I Approach Design

I've always been someone who learns by doing, experimenting, tinkering, and trying things hands-on. Design came into my life by chance when my school assigned me fashion design as an elective, but I immediately took to it. One form of design led me to another, from product design and interactive media with circuits to filmmaking, animation, UI/UX, and graphic design.
It took an entire journey of trying everything for me to understand that the medium wasn’t the focus, it was the problem-solving I enjoyed the most.

Beyond the Studio

Outside of design, my adventurous spirit shines through in my love for sports. A fun fact is I played on seven school teams, with football and handball being my favorites. I’m also a lifelong artist, sketching since I was six (often in moving cars), and I still carry that habit with me. I'm outspoken and fierce, but I’m also sensitive, caring, and social. While I first wanted to become a writer and then an actor, design was the perfect way for me to bring all parts of me together to create something meaningful.
