ABOUT ME My work
is often an extention of myself and is a manifestation of many reflections. Questioning my own notions to find the essence is integral part of my design methodology.
No idea is frail or bold.
The power of an idea lies in how it is interpreted by internalising and introspections.,guided by intution. Intution and emotion are natural to all beings,these make the bridge all gaps and help designs reach all with a soul.
Intangible to tangible. Emotions, can be empathised with but when communicaed with clarity. The clarity can be acchieved with medium being experiences and the means being materials and their use. It cannot be underestimated, the dramatic story telling capability of light and textures and most sublimely, water.
MY SKILLS
DESIGN IS AN ESSENCE, INTROSPECTION AND MATERIALISATION INTO EXPERIENCES. AND BY THIS MEDITATION I FIND MYSELF DAY AND AGAIN.
‘TWO D TO THREE D’ Nature is the greatest teacher of design. Following is an amalgamation of learnings of structure and form into geometery as a pattern , culminating as a volume.

A space for our intangible, non materialistic needs. .A place where the overwhelming experiences of anger, frustration, hopelessness are cured. If not cured, at least where one is offered a direction to stand still and inrospect these feelings.
