Experiencing diverse cultures has opened my mind to living different lives and bringing together necessity and luxury.

And this is my journey...

About Me

I am passionate about design and creating innovative spaces. Where does this passion come from? Travelling.

Having been on the move from the age of 4, I have had the opportunity to explore cultures, lifestyles and habitats. From all the luxury that money can buy in the Middle East to the diverse architecture & design developed over centuries in a country of 1.4 billion Indians, from concrete enclosed Ballerinas in Russia to the Victorian era of the birtish architectural design.

INDIA

My homeland is a rich tapestry of diverse cultures, religions, beliefs, lifestyles, cuisines, architecture, climates, and fashion—an endless blend of traditions and influences.

LONDON

At the Inchbald School of Design, we were prepared for professional practice through the exploration and development of practical and aesthetic design skills. During the course, we tackled a variety of residential and commercial projects by design methodology, technical details and research.

 

Inchbald provided real site projects which challenged our ability to analyse the problems, prioritise the client’s requirements and further assess the aesthetic agenda.  

MIDDLE - EAST

Having spent majority of my life in the middle east, I have gained deep insights into its socioeconomic dynamics, cultural diversity, and infrastructural development. From the profound emphasis on family values and the seamless integration of luxury into everyday life to the resilience required to endure the climate. I have observed first hand the contrasts between different nations and the unique challenges they navigate.

I have had the privilege of living multiple lives across different countries, each shaping my perspective in unique ways. Travel became my gateway to exploration, enriching my understanding of history, lifestyle, culture, and art. It taught me that design transcends mere spaces—it is a reflection of people, their evolution, and the symbiotic relationship they share with their surroundings.

AND MY JOURNEY CONTINUES...
