Background & Experience
I have a broad range of experience across the creative industries. After a background in the environmental and education sectors I transitioned to working in graphic and web design before pursuing education as a visual artist.
I have exhibited my work in the UK and India. I am also a partner in Bring Home Stories, a culture project based in India.
