What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue building womenswear, textile, print, and avant-garde design work while contributing to creative direction, trend strategy, and commercially grounded fashion collections.

At Saryam Apparels, I lead womenswear design direction, trend decisions, marketing strategy, and business investment decisions for a locally run apparel retail brand in Seoni.

My work centers on avant-garde design, experimental silhouettes, wearable art, textile prints, and surface development. I create collections that balance creative expression with commercial retail needs.

I've created digital textile and garment prints for Sai Creation using Photoshop, Illustrator, and CLO 3D, collaborating with production and sampling teams on print execution. At Meenakshi Fab Tex, I developed tech packs, flat sketches, and market-oriented kidswear print concepts.

I hold a B.Des in Fashion Communication from NIFT Bhubaneswar, with a minor in Fashion Design. I have submitted original garments to the World of WearableArt competition for two consecutive years and continue exploring new fashion tools and trends.
