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'. ## About Ishneet Ahluwalia Hi, I'm Ishneet! My art is my therapy, born out of a love for animals and the beautiful chaos of Mumbai.
