I am an artist who draws on clothes for a living. I am currently conducting research on ‘waiting’. I have spent my adult years in many places doing different things as a farmer, librarian , designer, architect, waiter, researcher, and mason. Being formally educated in architecture and anthropology, I cannot believe that I get paid to talk to strangers.

After being a volunteer for more than half a decade in Auroville. I now work as an independent designer and illustrator helping creatives and design studios get more eyes on their work.

My poems and illustrations were published in The Robeson, a PoC-led magazine at SOAS, London in 2021 and my first solo exhibition was held at Berber and Q in London. In 2024, one of my illustrated book covers was short-listed for the World Illustrations Award. I consider myself an avid reader and writer of zines, haikus, tweets, articles. My academic writing and reportage are yet to appear in public eye. In 2019, I stopped working for a year, as an experiment. I am the daughter of three galaxies who look like parents and the sister of an itinerant monk. When I’m not working, you can find me doodling at cafés, cradling a warm cup of earl grey tea with dirt or paint on my knees.
