Designing withthread, colour& story

I’m an apparel designer crafting distinct, considered clothing. My work is led by craft, coloured by culture, and grounded in sustainability and individuality.

I studied Fashion Technology at Panjab University in Chandigarh at both bachelor’s and master’s level. Along the way I built a strong academic foundation and a passion for combining creativity, technology and sustainability in fashion.

My work moves between the hand and the screen. On one side there is embroidery, tie and dye, sketching and garment construction; on the other, digital prints, vector artwork and illustration. I approach every project with dedication and wholehearted commitment, and I care about the quality of every detail.
