About Me

I believe that I am a Visionary Designer and Writer.
Being meticulous to detail is the influencing factor of my personality. I keep improving and iterating my work, for it to reach it’s utmost potential. Curious by nature, I learn constantly. By adapting to any situation, I strive to be an Ethical Artist. Being a team player is of the most importance. I am a Stakeholder-oriented Solution Seeker. And lastly, a DIY believer.

I am in my third year, studying at Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology pursuing Bachelor of Design (B.Des). The field Information Arts and Information Design Practices (IAIDP) is my selected major. In this multidisciplinary domain I have learnt to work with ...


My interests

Since childhood I have been curious to understand- how things work, which led me to hoard a lot of precious items and junk. I would reuse them in the most DIY way possible to save my earnestly earned pocket money.

I have explored various artsy methods like oil & water marble art; cyanotyping; tesselations; clay, POP, thermocol (I have personally stopped using this material, because it's harmful to the environment) and paper to sculpt and manipulate their properties for making a new object. Landscape and portrait painting with the rudimentary colours and paints were serenely easy for me. So to challenge myself with an attempt to mix materials like fevicol, dry pastels, ink, glass paints I tried to paint differently.

I am drawn to scenic beauty. Contours, lins, hues of nature inspire me. Taking opportunity from my travelling experiences, I have pleasantly stocked few photos. Feel free to slide through them.

Details of products and objects fascinate me. I enrolled in Srishti with the objective of becoming a Product designer. Still in the midst of my goal, I learn new things from different fields as I grow at Srishti. I constantly challenge myself to understand the limits of my potential because it's important to atleast know of things or field and matters, even if that's not the domain I would continue to pursue for the future.
