I am an agender & queer, South Asian artist who is passionate about community building and all things design. I'm also a lifelong student of anti-oppression work, creating safer spaces and design for social change. I facilitate disability justice training with the CRIP Collective, have organized art events with the Non-Binary Colour Collective, and I completed the 2021 Artscape Daniels Launchpad Emerging Creatives Bursary Program with a focus on design and creative entrepreneurship. I have also explored community theater, burlesque, installation art, poetry, photography, modeling and filmmaking.
