Hello, I’m Tejal, a textile & apparel designer, based in Nashik, India. My work explores storytelling and cultural narratives held by textile objects, interpreting intangible concepts into tangible forms through layered, sensory textile experiences. Drawing from varied influences from my immediate environments- folklore, craft and local cultures, I am fascinated by the spatial and emotional potential of textiles, while experimenting with mixed media and materials. These ideas manifest in my work in the form of texture, silhouette and colour.
