About

I am an art Enthusiast with a deep passion for innovation. I actively lead initiatives in product design and development, project management, and cross-functional collaboration—driving strategic design efforts and facilitating innovation workshops to foster a design-led culture within the organization. At VAN our architectural practice focuses on hospitality projects along with tropical modern style, emphasizing contextual sensitivity, climatic responsiveness, and material honesty. I also explore furniture and lighting design, where we blend craftsmanship with functionality through a hands-on, iterative process. As a visiting faculty and jury member at NID Haryana and Goa College of Architecture, I contribute to design education by mentoring emerging talent and sharing industry insights—bridging academic learning with professional practice. Outside the studio, I pursue creative interests in medical product design, painting, sculpting, and spontaneous road trips that continually inspire and inform my design thinking. At the core of my philosophy is a belief in creating meaningful, human-centered solutions that balance aesthetics, purpose, and context.
