Freelance

Ahmedabad, India
I am presently pursuing M.Des. in Ceramic and Glass Design from National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, India and specialized in stop-motion animation for Bachelor's degree; I constantly seek opportunities to be involved in projects from a wide range of spectrum.

Over the years being involved in projects from visual design to industrial design, exhibition design to furniture design, digital front to handmade crafts has escalated my enthusiasm to be a part of such projects that offer a better purpose for the society and evolving myself as a designer and a person during the course of it.
