I’ve always been drawn to the arts, and trained in Bharatanatyam for over 16 years under my Guru, Ms. Nrupa Soman. Growing up, I was passionate about all forms of art, and today, I find so much joy in bringing children’s books to life through illustration.

I love creating artworks that captures the simple joys of life. I work with both traditional and digital media, and recently, I’ve been exploring collage and mixed media—combining textured papers, pencils, paints, watercolours, and charcoal.

I’ve had the pleasure of illustrating picture books, board books, chapter books, and book covers. I especially enjoy working on stories for children and hope to write and illustrate my own children's book someday! I thrive when there's a challenging brief, a chance to really collaborate, and the freedom to play around and experiment. I'm always up for diving into new creative territory.

So far my work has been published by Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, Scholastic Press, Karadi Tales, Talking Cub (an imprint of Speaking Tiger Books), Red Panda (an imprint of Westland Books), AdiDev Press, Kalpavriksh Kids Books, Room to Read, Current Conservation Magazine, ZooBoo Books, Ektara Trust, and even the Jaya He Museum at the Mumbai International Airport.

This website is a curated collection of some of my most recent work. thank you for stopping by!
