Not everything begins or ends with a project.

I’ve always believed in building a practice: a palette of things that one takes the time and care to grow better at, a river of work that flows beyond briefs. It carries the routines, fascinations and side quests that hone my instincts and shape the way I work. From writing, curation, riyaaz and research to bookshelving, budgeting and pitch deck creation, they trace the momentum that builds a life in design and beyond.

Some of these were small slices of larger projects; others form their own constellation when you step back. Some were born of curiosity, others were responses to some fantastic open calls. Some were solo uphill treks, some serendipitous collaborations.

What brings them together is not medium or keywords, but a sustained love of engaging with new ideas, materials and meanings. Welcome to this gathering place for the things I return to again and again, regardless of recognition or reward. Here, you might glimpse the many shades of my practice.

MY SPREADSHEET BRAIN TRIUMPHS OVER MY PALETTE BRAIN SOMETIMES.
