Designing Stories Through Form, Craft & Emotion
Fashion has always been more than creating garments for me it's a way of translating ideas, emotions, and culture into wearable experiences. My design journey began with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, sustainability, and storytelling, leading me to explore everything from conceptual collections and textile experimentation to hand embroidery and illustration.
Today, my work combines creative expression with strategic thinking, allowing me to approach fashion through both design and brand perspectives. Every collection starts with research, develops through concept, and evolves into thoughtfully crafted garments that balance aesthetics, functionality, and meaning.
"I'm observant and have an eye for detail nature is my constant inspiration. I love exploring new surface techniques, fabric manipulation, and embroidery that put old crafts to new use."

Retro to Metro
given a print and a theme, I built 1970s beachwear: side-pleated hot pants and a shell-shaped top in the era's pinks, blues and purples. The design ran in the newspaper ahead of the show.
selected for Surat Global Fashion Season 2. Inspired by bhojpatra, the bark paper once used for Sanskrit scripture, I layered khadi to read as freedom and positivity, finished with rudraksha embellishment.

Zero Waste
Built entirely from what the industry throws away
Fashion is one of the largest sources of ocean pollution. this piece answers that directly. Every panel is a factory remnant; the hanging threads and hand-embroidered cap are repurposed embroidery waste.
I kept the palette to black and white on purpose no dye lot, no colour story, just proof that a full look can come from leftovers alone. It debuted at Surat Global Fashion Season 3.
Project 1
The Seed of Life
A collection built on sacred geometry. the Flower of Life, Metatron's Cube, the Giza pyramids. translated into fabric through origami folding. Flared silhouettes and protruding shoulder pieces; neckpieces that trick the eye into a waistcoat or corset.

Project 2
Recalling Memories
Don't you wish you could take one childhood memory and live inside it forever? This streetwear collection is built from the innocent charm of childhood drawings and scribbles. every piece hand-painted with abstract patterns of my own.

Textile & Hand Embroideries
Four weaves, four regional embroidery traditions
Field & Internship Work
My internship placed me with the Meghwaad Marwada community for craft research. I visited Kukma, Bhujodi, Sanjotnagar, Aambaliyavadi and Rudra Mata, documenting artisan identity, embroidery history, and beadwork.
The Meghwaad. originally from Marwar, Rajasthan are known for leather work, wood carving, and patchwork embroidery: khudi tanko, sado tanko, kambhiro, kharak, pakko, nehran, bavadio and mirror work. I logged their ornament traditions, dowry customs, and the 2001 earthquake
migration that brought several families to Kutch.
"Meghwaad means God's people hari, god; jan, people."

Patch Over Patch | an upcycled fabric studio
Surface design from a picture of a doorway
Patch Over Patch builds upcycled clothing from industry textile waste. every piece goes through its own design cycle. My internship covered surface exploration, product styling, and photoshoot direction.
The surface itself started as a photograph I took at Khamir NGO during my Kutch fieldwork. a mirrored study of six architectural forms, worked into a repeat print before it ever touched fabric.
Self-Directed Work
Glamoured, sweet outfits in simple, minimal silhouettes. Sustainability sits at the centre of it.100% cotton fabrics and Indian traditional block prints are the label's main material and motif.

Illustration Work
Lehenga silhouettes rendered in watercolour and gouache, each set against a hand-painted scene. a palace window, a banana leaf, a camel at a wedding procession.
