Hi There! Nothing can be more interesting than a daily life and bits of imagination. Inspiration from the same pours into my sketchbook. Design enables my senses to navigate. It is my process of Search, analysis & elaboration. Willing to work with a growth oriented organization which will augment my affinity for Designing and real time innovation execution. Affinity for the performance upliftment & strategic thinking for business development with intelligent design solution as per client briefs. Core competency: • Effective Intelligent Design Solution • Visualizing Trend & Client Briefs • Product portfolio development for International Trade Shows & Buyers • Effective Communication Skills • Manufacturing Design Process & Part Minimization. I believe in the power of making. Working with craft, traditional material & updated techniques is something I love. I see textile as a versatile expression into shaping lives, customs, acts, rituals that moulds the society.
