hi

Hi, I'm Aishwarya. Thanks for being here — I promise to keep this short and mildly entertaining.

​

I’m a designer who loves creating things that feel intentional and full of character. I studied Knitwear Design at NIFT and then walked (with questionable confidence) into film, styling, and design consulting — collecting experiences like merit badges along the way.

​

Right now, I’m building my own brand while still taking on styling and film projects that keep me curious and creatively awake. I enjoy designing for real people and real stories — pieces that feel considered, personal, and just a little bit special.

​

If you’re looking to work with someone who brings intention, a steady hand, and the occasional bad joke to the table, I’m really glad you landed here.
