I was taught to be a leather and lifestyle accessory designer, but I learned to be an expressionist and an artist! At the pulsating core of my creativity is “product'' which I incessantly entwine with an array of materials viz, wood, metal, clay, plastic – to name a few. My niche is to visualize and conceptualize products that captivate and enthrall the senses; the designs are extremely exclusive but also in tandem with the pulse of fashion. I aim to make them suave, chic and also offbeat!
I take under consideration not just the beauty of an object, but its functionality as well, wherein I believe, lies the success of a product.
My experience in the field encompasses having designed for fashion icons like Hermes, Karl Lagerfeld, Louis Vuitton, Hugo Boss, Christian Dior, The Princess Märtha Louise of Norway to name a few. Not having restricted myself to the elite bubble of haute couture, I have vast experience in working with high fashion brands as well viz, Tommy Hilfiger, Anthropologie, Fossil, Hugo Boss, D&G, Poem bags,
As is evident from my portfolio of work, my innate sense of style, functionality and of course drama (!!) trickles into my products, placing them in a class by itself.
