Ever since I was a child, I’d always had a great interest in art. I remember watching movies, animated or live action and being bewitched by the extremely vivid colors brightening up the screen, portraying an array of different emotions, different cultures and new horizons. Each color seemed to express a different expression, a different tone. They spoke to me while adding layers to the character or scene, enriching them with different themes and personalities.
Art to me is not just about drawing things, it’s more than that. It’s something that is a big part of everyday life. It’s present everywhere for me. It’s in how people talk, how they dress and how they eat. It’s captivating in all forms, be it on paper, in music or carved from clay. I have always been inspired by different artists. Some in the form of famous painters, others in the form of authors, from J.K. Rowling to the poets Robert Frost and John Keats, who used words to evoke feelings and create enchanting worlds from their writing.
This created a knack for designing things in life. As a designer I look forward to bringing my own unique experience of being an outsider to a world that I have grown up in. Being from South Asia, my perspective has always been a little different and distinct. Having spent my childhood in an eastern setting, my views have always been tinged and shadowed by familial ties and what it means to be part of a communal tapestry, I see art with a collectivist lens, a representation of the social and cultural sphere. Thus, I bring unique perspectives to the table, creating new things and bringing them forward to everyday life.
