VISUAL PRACTICETEXTILES + ILLUSTRATION

Color is how
I notice.

Drawings, textiles, and objects shaped by the places I go and the things I notice along the way.

LOOKING CLOSELY

Interiors, home objects, and the atmosphere of a room are a constant source of inspiration. I pay attention to how color and composition change the way a space feels.

That curiosity moves between hand-drawn marks, repeat patterns, and spatial experiences. Across each medium, I’m finding a visual language for a story.

Valley of Flowers

A collection for Nicobar shaped by the flora, fauna, craft, and social rituals of Kashmir.

From place to visual vocabulary

I led the collection from research through execution, translating kingfishers, lotus blooms, Dal Lake boats, wildflowers, and tea culture into original illustrations, repeat patterns, colorways, textiles, and objects.

A saturated spring palette of saffron, pink, green, and blue held the world together. The aim was not a generic idea of Indian craft, but a collection with the specificity and atmosphere of Kashmir.

Sakura in Sikkim

Soft pink blossoms, an aqua sky, and the feeling of petals falling like snow became a quieter home collection.

THE THREAD THROUGH IT ALL

It starts with looking closely.

Drawing and textiles still shape how I work with technology. I return to the same questions about color, rhythm, and how a person experiences what I make.
