About Me
“Without effort, there is no gain” – Pandurang Shastri Athavale
I have always thought that the process is more important than the result. Amongst these pages, you will find the best bits of a journey that started all the way back in 2010. I am incredibly fortunate and privileged to be sharing this story with you. Whether it be design work, ramblings or inspiration that you are looking for, I hope that you find it here. Welcome to my place…remember to wipe your feet before you come in.
