My journey at Srishti has felt like alchemy—transforming raw ideas into something meaningful. Just like an alchemist experiments to turn base metals into gold, I have worked through uncertainty, trial and refinement to shape my design practice.

Every project, critique and iteration acted as a catalyst, breaking down old ways of thinking and pushing me to synthesise new ideas. There were moments of chaos, where nothing seemed to work, but that friction was essential—it led to unexpected breakthroughs.

Alchemy is about fusion, and that has been my approach—blending disciplines, materials and concepts to create something richer. Design, like alchemy, is about experimenting, failing, recalibrating and refining. I have learned to embrace the unknown, knowing that the best ideas often come from unexpected combinations. Moving forward, I see myself continuing this process—transforming, evolving and always searching for that next discovery.
