Her passion for arts and design drove her towards taking professional courses in sculpture & ceramics, jewellery design and painting.
She has worked as a head jewellery designer at reputed brands in Pakistan. Her willingness to constantly look for ways to groom herself as a better designer led her to enrol at the prestigious Gemological Institute of America in New York in the year 2014. By maintaining a good academic record at the institute, she was awarded the Students Choice Award for best design.
She later went on to pursue Masters in Applied Arts & Design from the Richemont Creative Academy in Milan in the year 2016, and was awarded an internship at the esteemed luxury watchmaking maison Vacheron Constantin in Geneva.
Studying abroad has helped her gain specialized knowledge of the domain of jewellery design. Having educated from an international perspective has further strengthened her base in conceptualization as a designer. The extraordinary multi-cultural experience brings refinement in her work.

My designs for me are a representation of personal thoughts feelings and ideas translated into ornaments that can be described as crafted treasures of my experiences. A lot of inspiration in my personal design work comes from nature and are also renditions of abstract geometric and sculptural forms.
I would describe my designs are aesthetically modern as I infuse my love for sculpted shapes and forms with jewellery designs to create exceptional pieces. I aspire originality and innovativeness to design exceptional pieces of ornamentation.
