I am a textile designer. I love challenging myself and setting new targets for myself to achieve. I believe management of time is equally important as creativity and originality in any design process and I very efficiently manage time. I show utmost sincerity towards everything I do and it is one the qualities I am proud of. I also believe skill development is equally important as developing new perspectives for a designer. I am always excited to acquire new skills and gain more expertise.
