About

Made by hand,
between two cities.

I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer based between London and Delhi, working across fashion, craft and visual storytelling. With a background in Accessory Design (BA) and Costume Design (MA), my practice combines strong technical foundations in tailoring, corsetry, garment construction, and textile manipulation with an experimental, material-led approach.

My work is rooted in making, moving between sculptural accessory forms and costume-led design, often exploring structure, silhouette, and unconventional materials alongside traditional textile techniques. I am particularly interested in the intersection of art, fashion, and craft, and how material histories and cultural narratives can inform wearable and character-driven design.

Alongside design, I explore illustration, photography, styling, and modelling as interconnected ways of constructing images and narratives. These practices feed into my process, shaping how I develop, document and present work through both physical and digital image-making.

I enjoy working across disciplines and am drawn to projects that value experimentation, craftsmanship and thoughtful visual storytelling.
