Mehndi is a language I speak through my designs. From initial pencil sketches to the final deep stain, this collection captures the journey of how I bring your stories to life on your skin.

About The Art & The Artist

Before I put a cone to your skin, I always sketch your ideas on paper first. Whether it's a portrait or a complex scene, seeing the design on my notepad helps us finalize the placement and density together. It is the best way to ensure the final result on your hands is exactly what you imagined, especially for custom figurative work.
