About

Textile Design graduate from NIFT with experience in handloom research, material exploration, and product development. As part of the Kullu Weaving Project under the Office of Development Commissioner for Handlooms, Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, I researched traditional weaving materials and worked with artisans to develop cotton-based home textile products. My work involved understanding craft processes, exploring material alternatives, and translating traditional techniques into contemporary products. I have also gained industry experience through internships, contributing to textile design development, trend research, and artisan-led production processes. My areas of interest include Textiles, Product Development, Handloom Textiles, Surface Design, Material Research, and Craft-Based Innovation. I am currently seeking opportunities where I can contribute to product development, textile research, and design projects while continuing to build industry experience.
