I am a fashion researcher, consultant and curator with a trained eye for fashion styling and art direction. My practice is at the intersection of Fashion, Culture and Technology.

My last project was with Eka Archiving Services as a Project Lead, to map and pilot a digital Archive and Museum for veteran Fashion Designer - Ritu Kumar.

Previously, I worked with Amazon as an Art Director, supporting the content strategy goals initiated by the Creative Head of Amazon Imaging Services (Global) with CX research, creating processes and designing documentation.

I have also been a part of producing an AI-based curatorial tool, 'Interwoven', connecting South Asian textiles archives globally with the Museum of Art & Photography in partnership with Microsoft Arts & Heritage.

A passion for material memory led me to initiate a community platform, Dress Memory Archive, to capture marginalised histories through everyday dress.

I hold a master’s in Fashion Curation from the London College of Fashion, UAL and a B.Des in Fashion Communication from the National Institute of Fashion Technology.

I am currently reading about the metaverse, food foresting, cultural sustainability, and dysthymia while listening to my favourite french artists.
