PROFILE

I’ve spent over a decade immersed in the fashion industry, constantly learning, evolving, and pushing boundaries. My journey began with studies in Fashion Design Technology – Pattern Cutting at London College of Fashion, followed by a specialization in Haute Couture Pattern Making at Accademia Koefia in Rome. I then pursued a Top-Up Honours degree in Fashion/Apparel Design at Marbella Design Academy, and later completed a Master’s in Management and Marketing of Fashion and Luxury at MIA Digital University in Barcelona.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some incredible names in luxury fashion—from Whistles to MatchesFashion.com—and interning with iconic houses like Alexander McQueen and Reem Juan. I’ve also worked as an Assistant Designer for Ioannis Dimitrousis, Ion Tail, and DoDoDez. My design path has taken me across cultures and cities; in India, I collaborated with Sailex Ng in Delhi and worked as a design consultant and stylist for Nupur Kanoi in Calcutta.

One of my most memorable projects was creating a textile installation for Lakme Fashion Week 2016 for Yana Ngoaba—where I could really bring together creativity, craft, and storytelling.

From 2016 to October 2024, I led the Fashion Design Department at FAD International Academy (Mumbai Campus) as Head of Department. Those eight years were deeply fulfilling—mentoring young talent and overseeing department operations allowed me to grow just as much as the students I taught.

Currently, I serve as the Creative Consultant at Valkyre, where I continue to build bold, expressive collections and derive a strong visual identity for the brand. I remain open to part-time teaching and consulting opportunities—because I believe that sharing knowledge is one of the most meaningful parts of our creative practice.

I also occasionally conduct interviews for the MGLuxM (Master in Global Luxury Goods and Services Management) program at SP Jain School of Global Management, helping assess and select candidates for upcoming intakes. It’s a rewarding way to engage with emerging talent and stay connected to the evolving landscape of luxury education.
