About

For me, pottery isn't just about making pots. Every piece I shape comes with a bit of a story, a mood, sometimes even a memory. I work in small batches, so each mug or bowl feels personal—kind of like wearable stories you can actually use.

Collections & Collabs

• My collections aren’t random—they’re based on real ideas or a vibe I can’t shake off.
• Déesse is all about the old Bombay feel, with mugs carved with little details you won’t find anywhere else.
• KHUMĀR gives off full-on nostalgia, with beer mugs and plates made for those chill evenings with friends.
• Sometimes, I team up with other folks for exclusive lines, like earthy tableware with that perfect night-glaze.

Custom Commissions

If you’ve got a vision, I’m all for it. We chat, sketch, go back and forth till it feels right. Could be custom ceramic gifts, a personalized pet bowl, or even one big statement piece for your space. I love figuring it out with you.

What I Make

• Drinkware: mugs (my jam), goblets, tumblers, shot glasses
• Serveware: bowls, plates, teapots, jars
• Decor: vases, planters, incense holders
• Quirky stuff: artist palettes, brush rests, charms

How I Work

Each piece is wheel-thrown stoneware or hand-built in my studio. I get into the details—the math for comfy handles, carved textures, even a bit of jugaad (basically, creative hacks) to get things just right. It’s slow craft, but that’s what makes it real.
