What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to fashion design, collection development, print development, textile research, trend forecasting, or styling work where I can translate research and visual storytelling into commercially viable products.

I've contributed to seasonal collection development at AZORTE (Reliance Retail) and ceremonial wear research at Raymond Lifestyle Limited, turning trend, competitor, fabric, and textile research into design boards, print development, color stories, and product ideas.

At The Keen Kulture, I supported editorial and wedding styling projects through mood boards, visual direction, campaign development, client coordination, and brand storytelling. As a NIFT Bengaluru Fashion Design graduate, I bring hands-on capability across collection development, styling, garment construction, pattern making, draping, and fashion illustration.
