I’m a fashion designer, stylist, entrepreneur, multitasker and I’ve come to realize that my true passion lies in styling!
I am a graduate of National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Chennai and the London College of Style with a specialization in fashion styling. My journey in fashion began with my brand, Studio 9696, which I founded in 2013 alongside a talented group of colleagues from NIFT, Chennai. I’ve been leading the operations of the brand since 2017 overseeing a team of over 20 creatives.
With over 12 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of styling A-list celebrities and public figures from across the four Southern Indian states, including Taapsee Pannu, Vijay Sethupathi, Dulquer Salman, and Narain Karthikeyan, to name a few. My portfolio includes styling high-profile advertising campaigns and TVCs for brands like Sterling Resorts, Go Colors, Tanishq, Kumaran Silks, Classic Polo, VBJ Jewelry, and Hatsun, among others.
Since 2019, I’ve expanded my styling expertise in the wedding genre. Styling brides, grooms and their families to create timeless, personalized looks that reflect their unique styles for the big day. With a sharp eye for detail and a passion for bridal fashion, my goal is to ensure each client feels truly special.
Throughout my career, I’ve thrived under pressure, learned to be resourceful in challenging situations, and continually refined my creativity, skill set, and work ethic. Looking back, my passion for fashion and styling is just as strong as when I first began in the industry.
I believe in hard work, dedication, and maintaining ethical business practices in everything I do. I seek inspiration through teaching (I’m currently a guest professor at NIFT, Chennai) and through my love for travel. Having explored over 28 countries feel free to ask me about my travels – it’s a journey I’m always excited to share.
