ABOUT

I am a designer, potter and photographer.

I started my career by co-founding a design firm, Pachisi, 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 work on limited 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, in Media Studies from The New School in New York, and in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. I bring an intellectual rigor and a deep curiosity to my projects. 

My recent art works are on an intimate-scale and it is a healing response to the discomfort/disengagement experienced in our current time, and the sense of loss and the anxieties of an uncertain future.

In the past I focused on culture and identity — and currently, my work is influenced by the ephemeral quality of nature — whether it be a photograph taken on my walks or a porcelain bowl. 

Whether to say hello, or to discuss a website or a custom ceramic piece, I’d love to hear from you.
