About me
I am a product designer and maker from India, currently based in London. I recently completed my MA in Material Futures from Central Saint Martins. My practice lies at the intersection of design, craft and nature which seeks to bring a meaningful change to our everyday lives. A strong rooted sense of tradition, local craft and community lies at the heart of my design ethos. Through my work, I am addressing the need to have a local narrative against the backdrop of globalisation and actively transitioning towards a way of making which prioritises planet over people and planet over profit.
