Movement

There’s something grounding about movement. I rowed competitively with the UARS (Uppsala Akademiska Rodarsällskap) team during my time in Uppsala, the kind of early mornings that teach discipline, rhythm, and quiet focus. Off the water, I’ve always found comfort in motion: hiking coastal cliffs, walking aimlessly, or cycling just to get lost. Movement, for me, has always been a way to reflect.

New Learnings

Alongside design, there was service. I worked behind bars and in kitchens, learning the value of pace, precision, and people. That same care shows up in how I design.

In Uppsala, Sweden, I worked as a bartender and bar manager at Västmanlands-Dalarna Nation, a student-run space where community, chaos, and connection came together behind the counter.

Community & Leisure

Design for me has always been about people, not just creating for them, but with them. At Local Threads Collective, a grassroots community initiative in Mumbai, I found that philosophy in action.

From organizing swap meets and zero-waste events to running creative workshops and managing our digital presence, I’ve been lucky to co-build spaces where sustainability, creativity, and care come together.

It’s local, reflexive and it’s collaborative, just the way I like my design (and my fika).
