PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

I have always been a storyteller. Mediums like art, writing, dance, fashion, broadcasting have been my forms of self-expression. As Paul Rand once said, “Everything is design,” and just like designing and redesigning clothes, I was able to redesign myself when I moved to America from India at 16 years old. My unique background and passion motivate me in my pursuit of crafting my own story.
