I like understanding how things work, questioning why they are the way they are, and imagining how they could be better.

That curiosity has taken me from designing machines to making art, from learning guitar to running trail marathons, from building small businesses to building communities.

I don't really have one lane.
I follow curiosity.

          I grew up in Karwar, a coastal town in Karnataka, surrounded by a lot of nature and a relatively small world.

Design Education

B.Des - Product Design

2020-2024

Eventually I moved to Bengaluru to study design—and somewhere along the way, the world became considerably bigger.

Four years of learning, experimenting, making mistakes and figuring things out.

"I came in wanting to learn design. But instead I ended up leaving with a different way of looking at the world"

Good people, crazy ideas, countless projects — and a lot of memories.

Function matters.
But feeling matters too.

I have this habit of finding character in ordinary things.

A water bottle.
A well-worn pair of shoes.
Someone's outfit.
A machine on a factory floor.
A hand-painted sign.
A piece of furniture.
A painting.

I notice the little decisions—the proportions, textures, colours, imperfections, gestures and details—that make something feel like it has a personality.

Maybe that's why I'm so drawn to design.

Because I don't just see what something does.

I see what it says.

I believe a product can work beautifully and still have character.

A brand can communicate clearly and still feel alive.

A space can function perfectly and still make people want to stay.

Good design, to me, is where understanding, imagination and craft meet.

And I have very little patience for making something mediocre simply because “that's how it's done.”
