Available to hire
I’m Mahak Maheshwari , a fashion and craft-focused designer who loves concept-driven work rooted in Indian traditions and pushed toward fresh silhouettes and refined surface development. I start with an idea and work backward into material, structure, and visual storytelling—whether I’m developing fabric techniques, documenting craft processes, or shaping collections from concept to execution.
I’ve contributed to fashion shows and brand collaborations, managed backstage logistics for couture events, and built hands-on craft documentation and apparel development experience through internships and projects. Alongside my design work, I also create visual assets for social media shoots and editorial-ready outputs, and I enjoy building motifs, patterns, and technical drawings that make designs real.
