About
I have always been driven by my desire to explore and create . . . and I feel extremely fortunate to have followed my heart to places that allowed me to do just that. During the course of my career, I have been instrumental in providing a variety of design solutions with an underlying desire to make life simpler and more meaningful. From lifestyle accessories to spatial design; cosmetic packaging to mobile applications; brand communication to interiors, I have translated this philosophy in to reality. In the process, I have won an Elle Decor award, got an international patent to my credit, and have helped numerous brands effectively communicate with their customers.
Specialities
I am a creative director and product designer with an analytical mind with a total experience of 12 years. For the past 6 years, I have been running my own entrepreneurial setup. As head of the organization, I have had the opportunity to look at design in a holistic way. I have been responsible for strategy, ideation, client servicing as well as activation. This has allowed me to gain ample knowledge on consumer behaviour, emerging technologies and latest market trends. It now seems time to tickle my imagination and further explore the vast and intriguing world of design. -
