ABOUT

Trained as a designer, I started my career by co-founding a design firm offering services for women’s empowerment, health and education. Life (and love) brought me unexpectedly to Philadelphia in 1990. After a thirty year career in print and digital design, strategic marketing, and visual branding, most of it at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, I continue to work on selected design, branding, photography and web projects, while enjoying whatever life brings. 

I hold graduate degrees in Visual Communication from the National Institute of Design in India, Media Studies from The New School in New York, and Education from the University of Pennsylvania. With this broad range of training and professional experience, I consider multiple perspectives when creating my work, mindful of both its impact and my role in its creation.

My photography practice aims to communicate and connect with others through visual storytelling. Influenced by my design background, I delight in the interplay of form, color, and unexpected elements.

I view myself as a perpetual immigrant, fascinated by the nuances of culture and the ever-evolving definition of identity. Recently, I’ve been thinking about the discomfort/disengagement experienced in our current time, and exploring my own response to loss and the transience of life.
