About

I’m a design professional with 10+ years of experience in product development, visual communication, and brand building. My work spans craft enterprises, sustainable fashion brands, creative agencies and small businesses, where I’ve used design to tell stories, build identities, and create impact. Passionate about craft, culture, sustainability, and social impact, I specialize in bridging aesthetics with strategy—whether through graphic design, branding, campaigns, packaging, or consulting. I believe design is more than visuals; it’s a way to connect people, ideas, and opportunities. Open to connect and collaborate.

Desizn circle

Product Design Trainee

Jan 2015 – Jun 2015 · 5 mos · Greater Delhi Area

As a designer, I am always thinking how I can make the best use of what I see. Deriving inspiration from my surroundings has always been my constant attempt. Same has been the case for this product or rather this collection. The project is a sequel of my previous project titled Going "NUTS" which was mostly about explorations. As the name suggests, the collection is inspired by the form of nuts.
It was quite an interesting and a challenging task to work on this theme as it involved a lot of brainstorming. The idea to work on this theme was to change the aesthetic perception of nuts. Being an unconventional material to be used in a product idea, my aim was to change the look and feel of a nut from an industrial product to a very aesthetic and unique piece of furniture.
