I am an Architecture and Planning Graduate from Amity University, Kolkata. I am a Designer who loves to take upon any kind of design challenge to increase my design knowledge and break my limitations. I approach design in a minimalistic way, to make a functional and user friendly design. From Architecture to Interior, Product Design to Illustration, Web Design to any New Design ventures, I want to design,knowandlearnmoretostayyoung.
