Born to a mixed Nepalese and British heritage, I feel fortunate to have been exposed to a spectrum of cultural history from a young age. Folklore and mythology were a significant part of my childhood and the use of narrative to bridge cultural, social and generational divides continues to be an underlying motivation in my work.
Originally educated in graphic design and visual communication, I worked as a creative director and producer in fashion, advertising and publishing before training at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School as a costume and set designer. As a designer I’ve worked on projects spanning theatre, film, dance and interactive entertainment and am especially interested in multidisciplinary projects. I’m currently working as a design assistant and costume illustrator for film and TV.
I’ve significant experience working in outreach and engagement with a verity of charities and educational institutions, and am always keen to work on projects that support community. I firmly believe in investing in young people and am always keen to facilitate work to empower and inspire our future society.
Working with the award winning Footprint Theatre company, I designed costumes and set for ‘SIGNALS’, a dark comedy that followed two data analysts whilst they monitored radio waves for signs of alien contact. The play toured across the UK playing at The New Diorama Theatre and HOME Manchester before settling into Pleasance Courtyard for Edinburgh Fringe 2018. The show has since been taken to Latitude, Blue Dot & Cheltenham Science Festival and York Theatre Royal.
