I am a maker-designer of textiles and objects, inspired by the acts of everyday life. I see my process as a constant dialogue with the material and tool, creating a space of storytelling with surfaces and intricate structures. I am especially curious in woven constructions, and the intrinsic connection between textile and the maker in the relational process of weaving.
​
I graduated from Aalto University, Finland in 2023 with an MA, majoring in Textile Design and minoring in Textile Chemistry. Previously, I received a B.Des in 2019 from the Srishti Institute of Art, Design & Technology, India.
