About Me
I'm a fashion designer with roots in New Delhi, India, now working between New York and Milan. I trained at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Politecnico di Milano, and my practice moves fluidly between garment construction, illustration, and technical design — grounded as much in research and craft as in the tools now reshaping the industry.
My experience spans design houses and independent studios alike, from a production internship with Prabal Gurung to creative and marketing work with SaSm Exports, alongside styling roles that have sharpened my eye for how clothing is worn, not just made. I bring a researcher's rigor to my process — pairing hand sketching and moodboarding with data and digital tools, including Python and AI-assisted workflows, to move ideas from concept to finished garment with precision.
Fluent in English, Hindi, and conversational Italian, I've studied and worked across three countries, and I approach design as something built at the intersection of craft, culture, and technology.
