About

Textile surface design and fashion accessories design is the way I translate the world around me into visual form. I find inspiration everywhere, in architecture, movement, nature, color, and the subtle patterns that exist in everyday life. These observations constantly influence my creative process. When I design, I try to capture these moments and transform them into surfaces that feel dynamic, expressive, and meaningful.For me, textile design is both an artistic exploration and a thoughtful process. I enjoy experimenting with color relationships, geometric structures, and organic forms to build patterns that communicate energy and rhythm. Each design begins with observation and curiosity. From there, I develop ideas through sketches, pattern studies, and surface explorations until the design evolves into a cohesive textile concept.Currently I am enrolled in the Fashion Business Management Program at Houston City College for a secondary A.A.S Degree. I have a Bachelors degree from F.I.T in textile Surface Design. I am aiming for masters in fashion business. I am also doing short courses at university of arts London online and parson school of design one year online program.

Reflections of Heritage

Designed as a tribute to my Sindhi heritage, this strapless mini ball dress reimagines traditional mirrorwork and embroidery in a contemporary couture silhouette. Inspired by the rich craftsmanship of Ajrak motifs and shisha artistry, I created this piece to celebrate my cultural roots while embracing modern elegance. Each mirror and embroidered detail is thoughtfully placed by hand, transforming age-old techniques into a sculptural, fashion-forward design that honors tradition through innovation.
