I am an aspiring textile designer with a passion for nature-inspired aesthetics and experimental textures. I love exploring embroidery, digital print techniques, and sustainable dye practices to craft expressive fabrics and garments. My work blends traditional craft with contemporary design thinking, and I enjoy translating concepts into tactile, story-driven textiles. I thrive in design internship settings and collaborative projects, continually expanding my skill set in eco-printing, natural dyes, and fabric manipulation. I’m curious, hands-on, and eager to push boundaries in textile design while keeping sustainability at the core of my practice.
