About

I am a Master’s student in Fashion Management at NIFT Mumbai, with hands-on experience across fashion retail, visual merchandising, and consumer-facing brand environments. My academic and internship journey has helped me build a strong foundation in retail strategy, buying sensibilities, consumer behavior, and marketing communication, supported by practical exposure to store execution and visual storytelling. I have worked as a 3D Designer during my graduation internship, where I developed a strong understanding of product visualization and design-to-market workflows. Additionally, my Visual Merchandising internship at Baggit strengthened my understanding of store-level execution, customer flow, and the commercial impact of visual decisions. Currently, I am completing my Graduation Project with Bluestone Jewellery (Dec–April), where I am gaining deeper insights into jewellery retail, everyday wear positioning, and experiential retail strategies. My long-term interest lies in retail buying and fashion marketing, where I aim to combine data-driven thinking, consumer insights, and creative strategy to build commercially strong and customer-relevant brands. I actively enjoy analysing retail formats, brand communication, and in-store experiences, and I am now beginning to share my learnings and observations through professional content on LinkedIn.
