Biography

I am a designer specialising in print and pattern design, working across interiors, textiles, branding and packaging.

Born in India and now based in South London, my work is driven by a love of colour, geometry and visual storytelling. With a signature style that takes assimilated shapes and unexpected juxtapositions, I bring them to life through screen-printing, hand weaving, embroidery and quilting.

Recent collaborations and projects include work for IKEA, The Office Group, REN Skincare, Heal's, Urban Outfitters and The London Design Fair. My work has been featured in Elle Decoration, Vogue, Icon, The Guardian Magazine and The Sunday Times.

I trained at Central Saint Martins and I am currently a Lecturer in Textile and Jewellery Design.
