My 5 years at the architecture school sparked a creative-curiosity in me that I suspect is life-long. 

Over the years, I've gained experience in the fields of architecture, brand & communication design, exhibition curation & experience planning, travel writing & curation. I have also been a mentor for young architects and students - specially the ones who want to explore fields beyond the one they're formally studying. My B-school experience, focused on 'creative & cultural businesses', was just the right push for me to pivot into the business & management of creative process.

In the current phase of my creative journey, I am the creator of Vaccines for Fear, where I write about creative fear & illustrate my mindscapes through digital collages. I also am the Senior Project Manager at Thought Over Design, where I work with a team of brilliantly talented & inspired designers to create the new generation of challenger brands in India.

I created a paper collage to reflect my career journey between 2011-2021, where each polygon represents a different creative field. I had fun trying to make them intersect the "right" way - to attempt a representation of the real-life intersections (which always seemed to exist). They're all labelled, except the smallest one at the bottom right - that represents the end of my schooling. 😀
