Websites: I don’t really have one favourite. I like to browse a lot of things, mostly arts, music, architector/interior decor, a little bit of fashion.
Haunt in the city: Not sure. I guess in the little bit of time between work I love being at home the most.
Indian and international brands/designers: I like Indian brands like Jodi Life, Dressfolk, NorBlack NorWhite. Brands that use traditional Indian techniques and fabrics in modern styles. When it comes to international brands I love designers like Iris Van Herpen, people who push the boundaries of what fashion, art and technology can be.
What jewellery style naturally attracts you?
I love delicate jewellery, not too heavy or loud. Gold and lots of colour.
First thought/word that comes to your mind when you think about Lune?
Dreamy and ethereal jewellery
Opinions/musings about:
The industry that you work in?
I work in a lot of different industries. Art, advertisements, fashion, nightlife. I enjoy them all because I get to be creative in different ways every week. No one workday is the same for me so it never feels monotonous or boring.
Sisterhood ( what does sisterhood mean to you now that you wish you knew 10 years ago )
Sisterhood is a community and holding space. Sisterhood is learning from each other and supporting one another.
What have you learnt from disappointment?
Disappointment is a great teaching moment. It prepares you for what could happen, it’s taught me to keep going, most things are out of my control so to be happy, go with the flow and knowing that things may hurt or get messed up but it’s all a teaching moment or a moment of realization.
On love and kindness
It’s the two of the most important traits for all humans to have, with it comes compassion, empathy.
On routine
Having a routine is super important to me. I like having things to do and having a good routine just organizes your day better to give you the most productive day you can have.
On city living
City living is frustrating for sure, Delhi is a really chaotic place to live, but I’ve had a lot of great days here. But I guess the ultimate goal for me is to be able to move to a quieter place, still close enough to civilization
The future is…
A mystery, but judging by the present I think it’s something I’m excited for
