My journey into textiles began at NIFT Kangra, where a strong foundation was built in textile science, garment construction, and manufacturing. A semester exchange at ENSAIT in Lille, France, sparked a curiosity for global fashion and product development, inspiring an international outlook on the industry. Later, completing a Master’s in Business in Paris further strengthened understanding of strategy, leadership, and the commercial side of fashion.

Block print collection- HELD IN LINES - This block print collection explores the transformation of organic floral forms into refined, graphic compositions by simplifying natural botanicals into cleaner, more controlled shapes. Instead of realistic representation, the florals are abstracted to retain their essence while gaining clarity and structure. Linear elements act as guiding frameworks, intersecting and organizing the forms to create rhythm and alignment, resulting in designs where organic motifs meet a disciplined, contemporary graphic language.
