I am a 2022 graduate of the Indus Valley School of Art & Architecture, with three years of industry experience specializing in embroidery and print design, and a strong focus on refined, market-ready aesthetics. Over the past three years, I have contributed multiple best-selling designs that were approved for reproduction and performed successfully in the market. After 1.5 years, I was promoted to Senior Textile Designer at Dhanak, reflecting both my creative contribution and my ability to work with precision in quality-driven, fast-paced environments. My design approach is asymmetrical and refined, defined by thoughtful composition, restrained color stories, and intricate detailing. I focus on creating designs that feel considered and enduring—pieces that emphasize balance, depth, and sophistication, aligned with a luxury sensibility rather than trend-led execution.
