I am a textile designer and premium batik entrepreneur with a background in chemical engineering who merges material science with traditional Indonesian textiles. After spending two years in the chemical industry, I founded Qaila Ethnic, a premium batik fashion brand, and I now oversee motif research, fabric and dye selection, design, production, and marketing. I’m excited to contribute to a project reviving Jamdani weaving heritage through a premium saree collection that honors craftsmanship while appealing to modern audiences. My approach blends technical rigor with creative storytelling. I collaborate with local artisans to fuse traditional motifs with contemporary silhouettes, ensuring quality and sustainability across materials, dyes, and finishing. This dual expertise positions me to drive premium fabric development and design-forward collections that celebrate cultural heritage in today’s market.
