My Creative Universe: A Collection of Hand-Drawn Stories
Welcome to my happy place. Here is a peek at some of my favourite illustrations, patterns, and custom projects that celebrate everything from Mumbai’s beautiful chaos to nature’s whimsical creatures. ✨
This is how my 'Trunk Tropica' design comes to life as a statement wallpaper. I love creating immersive, hand-illustrated patterns that can turn any room, even a bathroom, into a serene, tropical escape. This black and white elephant and palm tree design brings a touch of elegant nature indoors.
This video shows the journey of a custom wall mural I created for Little Duck Productions. It started as a hand-drawn illustration on my tablet and became a full-scale wallpaper celebrating their creative spirit, all in their brand colours. Seeing my art transform an office space was pure magic.
Mumbai Meri Jaan ♥️ This is my love letter to Mumbai, capturing the city's beautiful chaos in a single illustration. From the Kali Peeli taxis and local trains to the street dogs I adore, every detail is a piece of my heart. This is one of my most popular prints.
My two great loves: my cats and my art. Here are my favourite models posing with cat scratchers from Cozi_Kat featuring my 'Mumbai Meri Jaan' and a tropical jungle print. It brings me so much joy to create art that even our furry family members can enjoy.
My 'Elysian Echo' print, inspired by ancient Greek elegance, imagined on a modern silk shirt. I love designing patterns that can be translated into fashion, turning textiles into wearable art. This detailed, hand-doodled design blends classic motifs with a contemporary feel.
My vibrant 'Petal Pop' chrysanthemum pattern is perfect for making gifts extra special. I design seamless patterns that work beautifully for stationery and gift wrapping paper, adding a personal, artistic touch to any occasion.
Here’s a glimpse of a detailed city illustration I created for a client in Singapore. I love diving deep into the culture of a place, from its architecture and landmarks to its food and flora, and weaving it all into a single, intricate design.
There's nothing sweeter than designing for little ones. My 'Sky Snuggler' print features adorable koalas in hot air balloons, created for baby clothes and nursery decor. I focus on creating soft, whimsical patterns that spark imagination and bring comfort.
About Featured
Every print you see here starts as a rough doodle on my tablet, inspired by real stories—whether it is a brand's journey or a client's cherished memory. I do not just design patterns; I build narratives, ensuring every element, from the line work to the colour palette, reflects the specific vibe you are looking for, whether it is for your home walls, textiles, or stationery.
I call this collection my creative universe because it represents the many paths my art takes. You will find 'Trunk Tropica' designs that turn bathrooms into serene getaways, alongside my tribute to Mumbai—filled with Kaali-Peelis, local trains, and the street animals I adore. Each piece here serves as a starting point for what we can build together.
How We Create Together
Creating a custom design is a collaborative dance. We do not just pick a style; we chat about what moves you. If you are looking for wallpaper, we focus on how the print sits on the wall to ensure it doesn't overwhelm the space. If it is for fabric, we look at the repeat and scale so it looks perfect on cushions or curtains. For brand assets like the mural I did for Little Duck Productions, it is about weaving your brand values directly into the ink strokes.
The Technical Side
While the soul of my work is hand-drawn, the execution is professional and precise. I deliver high-resolution, print-ready files (layered PSD or TIFF), so you never have to worry about the technical side of the printing process. Whether it is a sprawling wall mural or a tiny pattern for baby clothes, the quality remains intimate and hand-crafted, scaled to fit your unique dimensions.
If you have a story you want to turn into art, let's talk. I am always excited to sketch something new that feels like 'you'.
