About

I am a fashion professional with over 4 years of experience across women’s wear design, production coordination, merchandising, and retail operations. My experience spans end-to-end collection development, working closely with vendors and production units, handling fabric and surface development, managing fit approvals, and ensuring quality and timelines. Alongside design and production, I have strong hands-on exposure to retail operations, customer handling, store merchandising, and brand presentation. I enjoy working in fast-paced fashion environments where creativity meets commercial viability. I bring a balanced perspective of design sensibility, production practicality, and retail performance. I am currently exploring opportunities in fashion design, production, merchandising, or retail-led roles, and I’m open to Bangalore-based opportunities.
