7 years as a fashion designer, entrepreneur, expert multi-tasker with an eye for detail;

I discovered early on that my true calling lies in styling. With a graduation from NIFT Chennai,

I went on to receive a Certificate of Specialization in Styling from the London College of Style.
​
After my return to the city in 2013, alongside a few enthusiastic friends from undergraduate college, Studio 9696 was born. The brand concentrated on styling as well as retail and custom design of clothes. Since 2017, I have been solely spearheading operations of the brand which also included leading a team of 10 plus members.

​

During this period my work included styling A-list television/radio celebrities and public figures from across South India - Taapsee, Vijay Sethupathi, Dulquer Salman, Anirudh Ravichander, Narain Karthikeyan to name a few. I also had the opportunity to work on large portfolio advertising campaigns and TVCs of prestigious brands and magazines such as Sterling Resorts, Go Colors, Kumaran Silks, Classic Polo, VBJ Jewellery, Hatsun, Galatta, JFW amongst many others.

​

Since 2022, I have also ventured into Wedding Styling. Apart from the bride & groom we also help their families shop and put together the entire look for every event for the wedding.

​

Through all of this I have come out ethically stronger, with a knack of handling last minute situations and remain creatively focused. My inspiration and passion lie in traveling to the 173 countries I am yet to see. I often play the role of a guest faculty at NIFT Chennai, teaching Fashion Styling or mentoring the graduating students.
