About

I’m a creative, research-driven Textile Designer with a strong foundation in surface and pattern design, combining vibrant visual storytelling with traditional textile craft. My final-year thesis explored reimagining Allama Iqbal’s poetry for children through contemporary textile concepts, using techniques like appliqué and hand-crafted embellishments alongside a focus on slow design and textile sustainability.

In my internship at Nishat Mills, I applied the same thoughtful approach in a commercial setting—developing print-ready artwork, creating colorways and seasonal surface designs, and contributing to end-to-end design pipelines from brief to production-ready files. I’m especially motivated by work that celebrates heritage craft while supporting responsible material reuse and fabric sustainability.
