Here is a little story about me.
I grew up in India and completed my Bachelor of Design (Fashion Design) from National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi in 2014. After graduation, I started working in a buying house in Delhi where I learnt a lot more about how the industry functions. My knowledge of fabrics, production process/timelines, designing for international clients, fashion trends and flat sketching improved drastically during those 2 years in the industry.
Soon, I wanted to learn more and decided to pursue Master of Fine Arts in Production Design (Costume Design) from Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah, GA, USA. I graduated in 2018 and started working in FIlm/TV in New York. I worked in the Costume Department of various TV shows like Madam Secretary, God Friended Me, The Survivor, etc.
Currently living in New York, I am looking to explore more opportunities in any of these fields. In the fashion world, I am proficient in technical sketches, illustrations, sample development, knowledge of fabrics and getting coordinating with vendors. In the costume world, I am proficient in pattern drafting, draping, sewing, ageing/dyeing, leather work, managing budgets, using Cashet and general upkeep of the costume shop.
I also like to watch period dramas, love going to theatre and illustrating.
