I fall into rabbit holes, fracture my ankle, and come back with stories.

About

When the going gets tough, YAY! Time to trek! The view will be worth it. If not, the stories will surely be. That's me. Doing it all for the plot of it. Currently, I work as a creative at Zensciences, with writers, designers, motion designers, and different families of AI who secretly love working with me, but claim it's too unprecented. Together, we translate the heavy lifting—IT, logistics, and consulting—into narratives that actually feel like, STORIES. (Seriously allergic to anything-in-an-ever-evolving-landscape). Outside the B2B world, my work has traveled to the Sundance Film Festival, the Venice Biennale, and the British Parliament. I have written for B2C advertising, archived memories across India and Pakistan with Project Dastaan and run my creative magazine alongside. (Check out Dotadoodle, you'll love it!) I’m a classically trained singer with a penchant for making things better by occasionally making them messy first. I go by building perspectives that respect the reader’s intelligence.
