about.

Driving impactful design solutions that transcend boundaries is my passion. My proven global expertise spans award-winning spatial design and sustainable materials research.

Woman with color palette

I combine intentional thinking with clean execution. For me, the best designs are so intuitive they don’t even feel designed.

I grew up in a household where patterns and plans shared the dinner table. My mother, a fashion designer, ran her boutique and our home with intuitive finesse. My father, an engineer with a business degree who saw the world in binary: black or white, efficient or not.


India’s chaotic brilliance became my first classroom. Watching my mom sketch ideas one minute and solve a logistics mess the next taught me that design wasn’t just about aesthetics, it was about systems thinking in disguise. From my dad, I absorbed a mindset of clarity, structure, and decisive action.


This duality, creative adaptability and logical precision became the foundation of my practice. I pursued a Bachelor’s in Architecture in India, where spatial thinking and physical design deepened my appreciation for tangible problem-solving. Later, I moved to New York to earn a Master’s in Strategic Design and Management at Parsons School of Design, where I honed my ability to zoom out - connecting dots across culture, systems, and strategy. 


Today, I approach challenges with a multidisciplinary lens, part storyteller, part system thinker, crafting strategies that are as thoughtful as they are impactful.
