Textile and print designer with 3+ years of experience across garment print development, sampling, and buyer-facing collections. I translate global fashion trends into commercially successful prints across knit and woven categories, managing end-to-end print development and sample approvals. I also have a strong personal thread of heritage craft research, working with traditional Jaipur techniques like block printing, Minakari, and Danka—then adapting those motifs into contemporary, market-ready designs. I enjoy collaborating directly with artisans, weaving clusters, and production teams to move concepts from sketch to woven sample and ensure quality throughout.
