About Me
I believe a design is one which is universally accepted. Simplicity follows elegance is reflected in my work & for me fashion is a canvas that creates art. With conceptualisation as strength, I seek to contribute my skills to create simple yet stylish designs.

The project is to design & create a collection on a different theme for the graduation collection.
Design Collection
My inspiration for the Collection is ‘Vegetbles’, it is the most common thing that we see around us everyday. We love to eat some cause of its taste, some likes them for color, but we hardly see the other side of it. The theme “Not just a matter of taste” explains that the collection holds more things then just taste. It has the properties, silhouette, texture, color and seeds of five different vegetables.
