Neha Mathew — Co-Founder
I specialize in circular design, focusing on reusing and upcycling industrial textile waste and deadstock fabrics. My passion lies in empowering disadvantaged women communities and artisans. I enjoy designing conscious fashion and textiles that are environmentally and socially responsible. Additionally, I organize workshops to enhance the skills of disadvantaged women communities, and offer mentoring and coaching on enterprise and leadership development, sustainability, circular design, and social impact. I'm seeking like-minded collaborators in the sustainability, social impact sphere and education.
