About
I am a London-based multi-disciplinary designer from India, driven by a profound belief in Earth's healing and restorative abilities. My passion lies in blending modern scientific knowledge, indigenous practices, and material innovation to implement regenerative design approaches for sustainability and modern solutions. I have experience in creating intuitive app interfaces, captivating websites, and thoughtful information architecture, as well as expressing ideas through illustrations and fine art to inspire and connect. Design research has been a significant part of my journey, allowing me to explore novel solutions for complex challenges. Additionally, my photography work plays a vital role in capturing the essence of our surroundings and nurturing a deeper connection with nature.
Recently, I have been focusing on utilizing micro-organisms to develop materials for skin repair, embracing a "natural remedy" approach to everyday practices. Through my diverse expertise and design versatility, my aim is to create meaningful and impactful experiences that promote sustainability, foster interconnectedness with nature, and cultivate a greater appreciation for our planet's resources.

Humans have long used natural remedies derived from plants, animals, and their byproducts. This practice is rooted in a symbiotic relationship between humans and non-human organisms, as both parties benefit from each other's existence. However, urbanization and modernization have led to a decline in the use of natural remedies. The hustle and bustle of city life has disconnected people from nature, and many people now rely on synthetic and industrialized products. Modern pharmaceuticals have largely replaced traditional remedies and holistic healing practices. This project aims to revive the use of natural remedies by harnessing the potential of microalgae and bacterial cellulose. These organisms have a wide range of beneficial properties, and they can be used to create a variety of skincare and healing products. This project is rooted in the rich history of natural remedies, and it has the potential to provide a more sustainable and effective alternative to modern pharmaceuticals.
