Political Science grad, but honestly, I’ve been doodling since I was tiny - art was always my thing. NIFT Delhi for my Master’s? Wild ride. Alone in a new city, super tough at first, but then I grew, made friends, and got that gold medal! Now I’m a UX designer by day, illustrator by night. Potterhead, GoT nerd, and big on true crime. Also, baking and sewing keep me sane. Destiny, I guess. ### My work - **Illustration & Design Storytelling**: I make custom character illustrations, children's book art, and portraits for weddings or special occasions. - **Dreamy, Detailed Style**: My art’s got that Disney vibe - dreamy characters, warm lighting, and loads of tiny details. - **Process & Growth**: Love sharing ‘sketch with me’ videos, showing how I build layers, and even redraw my old stuff to see my growth. - **Open for Collabs**: Worked with Netflix and Redbull. Whether it’s a big brand or something personal, I’m up for new ideas.
