I am a very hardworking individual who approaches life with a fun-loving disposition. I have a strong passion for discovering new culinary delights and thoroughly enjoy experimenting with diverse recipes over the weekends. This pursuit of new experiences extends to my love for design as well.
Being a multi-talented person, I take pleasure in creating and designing unique pieces that beautifully blend eastern and western aesthetics. Whether it's the intricate patterns of the east or the minimalistic chic of the west, I love incorporating different design elements in my work.
