Crafting beauty
one thread at a time

A passionate creative mind with a Master of Design from NIFT Panchkula, I specialise in knitwear and textile design for kids & home furnishing segments. My work bridges the gap between mood boards and mass production — blending trend intelligence with technical precision.

With hands-on experience at international fairs like Heimtextil Germany, Ambiente, and Spielwarenmesse, I understand what global buyers demand and how to deliver it.
