Profile
Born and raised in Delhi, India, I’ve always been a design enthusiast at heart and a designer by mind, with a passion for marketing and retail. My journey began in 2017 at NIFT Chennai, where I completed my Bachelor’s in Design with a minor in Fashion Retailing. From there, I immersed myself in design-led projects across handlooms, worked as a textile designer in one of India’s leading mills, and grew into roles as a graphic designer and marketing associate for Indian designer labels.
​
In 2023, I moved to Australia and embraced new opportunities — working in retail styling, sales, and visual merchandising at H&M while also strengthening my design and business acumen with a certificate in Design Led Strategy from the University of Sydney.
With more than three years of experience across design, marketing and retail; I see design not just as aesthetics, but as a bridge between creativity, business, and human experience. My work blends traditional craft with modern innovation, always aiming for solutions that are both impactful and sustainable.
Beyond the desk, I’m curious and compassionate — happiest when exploring new materials, experimenting with food in the kitchen, or wandering through museums for inspiration. My philosophy is simple: good design should create harmony, benefiting both humans and the world we share.
