I am a textile practitioner with a Master of Science degree in Textiles, currently working as a textile product developer for a leading home textile manufacturing company in India. My postgraduate research focused on sustainability in textiles, which sparked a deeper commitment to exploring eco-friendly practices and circular design systems. Beyond textiles, I have hands-on experience in watch design and a deep passion for horology and product design. My work in this area reflects a strong attention to detail, material innovation, and user-centric thinking. I am currently exploring shoemaking using sustainable materials, further bridging my interests in design, craftsmanship, and sustainability. My goal is to continue expanding my skill set and knowledge base across textiles, accessories, and sustainable product design—where innovation meets responsibility.
