At the Chicago Design Museum 72 E Randolph St, Chicago IL

Rooted in interdisciplinary exploration, my approach to design is experimental, introspective, and strategic, often incorporating self-referential inquiry. As a faculty member at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), I teach graduate and foundational courses in Graphic Design, 2D Design, Color, Typography, Professional practices, and Capstone Research, guiding students in both conceptual exploration and applied design practice.

Beyond teaching, I maintain an active studio practice, working across collage, experimental typography, innovative image-making, and painting. My creative work has a particular emphasis on the design process—not only as an act of creation but also of unmaking, deconstruction, and reinterpretation. I explore how existing works—my own and others’—can be dismantled, recontextualized, and reassembled to generate new narratives and meanings. This process-oriented approach engages deeply with history, materiality, and transformation, highlighting the dynamic interplay between artistic experimentation and design pedagogy.

I have worked with multidisciplinary design firms in Chicago, London, and New Delhi, contributing to branding campaigns, publication design, digital media, packaging, and grant-funded projects. These collaborations, spanning fields such as science, healthcare, education, the arts, and non-profits, have broadened my understanding of design’s impact across industries.



At the core of my teaching philosophy and creative practice is a commitment to mindfulness and reflection. I believe that cultivating awareness and intentionality enhances both design thinking and problem-solving. Outside of work, I integrate these values into daily life through meditation, yoga, and long walks, which serve as rituals for creative inspiration and deeper contemplation.
