HELLO!
I am a researcher, thinker & a visual artist (in making) but most importantly I am a listener. I have a passion for story telling and my practice lies at the intersection of research, art & trans-disciplinary design, trying best to create compelling human experiences. I hope to bring behavioral change by interrogating complex social problems and raise critical questions.
I consider myself a generalist, and thrive for experimentation to think beyond the walls and weave beautiful narratives. As a designer - intention and empathy are crucial to my being.
Ummm... alternately, I am a friendly weeb, found either buried in books or cooking.
