I am the great-granddaughter of freedom fighters whose textiles were used as sites of resistance to colonial empire (as seen by my Dadi to the left spinning indigenous khadi, or cotton, as a form of boycott of the British East India Company).
I am the inheritor of a lineage of goldsmiths from Punjab. I am a descendent of ancestors who were forever displaced from home due to partition.
Layered on top of my ancestral ties to textiles and displacement, I am an activist working with unhoused young people who are unjustly separated from their homes and homelands. As a result, I constantly seek belonging, home, and ancestral memory in every space I inhabit.
The interior design world in the West is often inaccessible and costly, dismisses and tokenizes indigenous artistry as exotic handicrafts, and steals the design expertise and intellectual property of artisans across Africa, South Asia, and Latin America.
My passion lies in supporting diasporic communities to infuse homeland wherever they go, affordably and eco-consciously re-imagine what it means to decolonize our homes, and center the expertise and names of indigenous artisans from our homelands.
I am deeply committed to democratizing interior design and offering a sliding scale for decolonized design services for your home.
