I’m deeply curious about how we live, sit, move, and design our everyday lives. Trained as an architect, I’ve always been more interested in people than in buildings, especially in the body within the space. My work explores body-conscious design, questioning comfort, posture, and the habits we rarely notice but live with every day. At Karyashalla, I’m here to walk alongside you, slow down, observe closely, and connect your ideas to real bodies, real cultures, and real communities. For me, mentoring isn’t about giving answers; it’s about asking better questions and discovering new paths together.
