2. PROFILE
HELLO!
Life is not enough long to adopt the common, blend into-i
believe it is about creating a new destiny for ourself.
life isnot short enough though to throwoff from the
responsibities of ourselves, i belive it is about scribbling with
the creativity in every single corner of world..never matters
the physical existence of oneself.
My life is about exploring new colors of existence n bring
them into live. kids are the root of human being, its where
we keep our secret base thoughts through, so accordingly a
new fashion should alwasys touch its feet, because past is
the future where it comes from.
i am a textile designer. By pyshcological nature of me, i take
responsibilities of understanding the creative need of the
article. my strength is in kids department. i love to design
for mens wear though too. home furnishing is my academic
strength.

Theme Board- funky jungle ,
Client- France; 5-10yrs old boy
The theme describes itself as ‘how a child
imagine a beholded green jungle with
the animals in it goes underwater to do
freindship with the marine life.’
The final concept was developed on the
face of a wolf with emotion of happiness. the
background texture was created on cartidge
sheet, and the technique was marbelling with
a nail paint floating over water- giving a effect
of water.
Final product is a luxury shoe, with the
concept digitally printed over it.
The cordinate chosen for this product is the tri

Inspiration- Chinese motif
research of traditional chinese motives developed
from early era was done to create new mootives
out of it. Which was conditioned to be still realteto
the original motif.
the selected motif was a peacock and a chinese
breed flower, which was used in chinnese home
furnishing products in common. the motif was
futher developed to create a new fusion of it.
The developed motif was now used to create a
print design. negative and positive space was
cordinated with EOD using the co-orinates of the
motif itself.
