I’m a filmmaker, designer, writer and researcher with a B.Des degree in Film and Video Communication from the National Institute of Design Ahmedabad. I’m also a Hindustani classical musician.
My creative practice delves into social, ecological and more-than-human themes, and spans several mediums, including moving images, words, sound, space, handlettering and art.
As an avid reader and travel enthusiast, I bring a deep love of learning to everything I do, and enjoy working with collaborators from across the world.

I'm working with Elephants By The Lake, a native forest restoration project in Krishnagiri by Rainmatter Foundation, designing the branding for The Women's Collective as part of their livelihoods initiative and directing a film about their impressive vision. I'm also creating the visual identity for a pure ayurveda-based hair products brand.
In writing, I'm developing a mixed media speculative fiction piece for Writing Natures Issue 02, Insubordinate Vitalities: Natures across Documentary, by Shared Ecologies. I'm also putting together a photo-essay for Patina Magazine, drawing from the archives of Project Kuppai.
Coming away inspired from Typoday 2025, where I presented a paper, I've also gotten back to some lettering practice and experimenting with linocut printing.
