I am a multidisciplinary designer with a passion for toy design, visual storytelling, documentation, and sustainable innovation. I approach each project with a research-driven mindset, blending diverse mediums and methods to arrive at conceptually strong, materially sensitive outcomes. I have a solid foundation in textile-based practices—from rug design and handloom weaving to apparel construction. I am especially drawn to the intersection of textiles and technology, where traditional processes meet new materials, interactive systems, and experimental making.
