About

I’m N. Jansi Rani, a Textile Designer based in Chennai, and I love creating fabric designs that blend fresh, market-ready ideas with the beauty of traditional craft. With a BFA in Textile Design from the Government College of Fine Arts, Chennai, I’ve designed textile patterns, motifs, weave and print concepts, and color combinations for everything from handloom sarees to seasonal textile collections.

Alongside design, I enjoy working closely with weavers and production teams—whether developing samples and mood boards, coordinating implementation, or supporting quality and feedback loops. I’m also hands-on with traditional techniques such as Kalamkari, Batik, Tie-Dye, fabric painting, crochet, and natural dye preparation, and I’m passionate about turning cultural craftsmanship into impactful, contemporary textile work.
