I am a traveller by nature, an accountant by profession, and an artist at heart.

In 2018 I found my creative soul when I founded this project. I am an Indian-born Australian but I have spent half of my life living in Kenya & Tanzania, and falling in love with all these fabrics. And now I can finally share it with all of you.

My artists are like my extended family. We work together. We laugh together. We grow together.
