A
GRAPHIC DESIGNER.
A spirited and creatively motivated person, I am an architecture graduate from KRVIA, Mumbai. A polymath at heart, I believe in a holistic perusal of the design field through academic and professional engagements. Driven by a desire to create across disciplines, I actively work towards building a multi-hyphenate career in architecture, visual art, fashion, films, and visual storytelling at large. Over the past 3+ years, I have developed a work ethic that employs critical thinking as the base for all that I do. This enables me to consistently question, unlearn, and foster a process that is highly iterative and instinctual. I aim to build a practice at the intersection of architecture and contemporary visual culture, blending diverse creative influences into a cohesive whole. I believe in working with people to inculcate a sense of ownership and accountability that helps the team to thrive in fast-paced environments demanding creative solutions.
