I work at the intersection of design, material, technology, and education. My practice began in fashion and textiles, but over the years it has expanded into digital experiences, design research, branding, creative strategy, and emerging technologies. Today, I explore how traditional knowledge, contemporary design, and artificial intelligence can coexist to shape meaningful products, systems, and learning experiences.
As a designer and educator, I am interested less in objects themselves and more in the relationships they create — between people and materials, craft and technology, research and practice, heritage and innovation. Whether designing a garment, developing a curriculum, building a digital platform, or collaborating with artisans, the underlying question remains the same: how can design create lasting value while remaining culturally grounded and socially relevant?
Currently serving as Faculty and Discipline Coordinator for Textile & Apparel Design at the National Institute of Design (NID) Assam, I divide my time between teaching, research, independent practice, and entrepreneurial ventures. My work spans textile and apparel design, visual communication, digital design, creative direction, design research, and increasingly, the integration of artificial intelligence and data-informed thinking into design education and practice.
Rather than following trends, I am interested in building work that is thoughtful, restrained, and enduring — work that respects materials, values process, embraces technology with intention, and contributes meaningfully to people, culture, and the evolving landscape of design.
My journey in design has never been confined to a single discipline. What began with fashion and textiles gradually expanded into a broader exploration of material, communication, technology, and education.
Early experiences within the fashion industry introduced me to the realities of product development, craftsmanship, manufacturing, and global design practice. At the same time, an enduring interest in textiles revealed that materials carry stories — of culture, place, memory, and human interaction. Teaching became a natural extension of this journey. Working with students, artisans, researchers, and interdisciplinary teams transformed design from an individual creative pursuit into a collaborative process of inquiry and knowledge sharing.
Today, alongside fashion, textiles, and visual communication, I explore emerging fields including artificial intelligence, data-informed design, digital experiences, and creative technologies — interconnected tools for addressing contemporary challenges while remaining rooted in culture, craftsmanship, and human values.
Design is a way of thinking — a continuous practice of questioning, learning, and making with responsibility.
