Inspiration

I am a trained designer and use multiple mediums to experiment and create personalized outfits and accessories. I completed my diploma in Fashion Design from Vogue Institute in Bangalore Destiny brought me to Philippines where 3 major events shaped most of what I am today. An association with Mr OJ Hofer, one of the top designers in Philippines that started as a training in dress making matured to be a partnership for the 2017 Ms Universe Designer Showcase. I made 3 sets of Beachwear Jewelry to compliment dresses. Second was an encounter with Ms Monica, an Austrian lady living in Philippines who gave me the initial training and inspired me into crochet and bead-work that led to my deep dive into the world of Geometric Bead-work. Finally, an association with Siddhartha the Musical where I volunteered as design consultant to re-invigorate the original Chinese inspired costumes to make them authentic Indian with modern construction techniques that allow the essence of flowing Indian dresses along with Movement required of a Musical. So my work has extensive use of beads, threads and construction techniques.
