ABOUT ME
MY PROJECTS
Hello! I am a visionary endlessly intrigued by my surroundings. Being a passionate Researcher, Strategist and Designer, I believe design has tremendous potential to transform lives. My approach to work towards this transformation is my ability to emotionally connect with people and being empathetic. I possess a bibliophilic madness and dream to own a library of at least one lakh books before I die. I love listening to people telling their stories. Every story has a lesson to learn.
