As a textile design aspirant, I am enthusiastic to explore every nook and corner of textiles and am interested in innovative design techniques. My work leans on the aesthetics of nature, and I observe the world around me to gather inspirations for textures, patterns, and color stories. Currently a Design Intern at KSR Handlooms, I develop women's wear and kids wear collections, focusing on weave, eco-printing, and natural dyes, and I enjoy building color stories and patterns that celebrate craft and sustainability.
