a little about me…

I’m a creative being with a love for both the arts and sciences. I was born in India, brought up in the Middle East (Dubai), and have been in the U.S. for over 20 years now and call Arlington, TX home. I work across visual design, photography, animation and visual storytelling, always inspired by nature’s beauty in everyday life. I’ve spent my adult life in this creative world, including time at a design agency where my annual report designs earned awards (still a proud moment!). Since then, I’ve been volunteering, contracting, freelancing, and am excited to continue exploring new projects and creative opportunities.

I pride myself on being curious, reliable, rational and unique. When I’m not creating, you’ll probably find me gardening, out in nature, behind a camera or just enjoying time at home with my family.

Strengths and weaknesses…

Multicultural Perspective:

Having lived internationally and in several U.S. states, I handle diverse perspectives with ease, openness and cultural sensitivity.

Conscientious:

I am reliable and I care about getting things right.

Overthinker:

Can I make quick decisions? Yes. Over-analyze them for 20 possible outcomes? I almost guarantee it.

Adaptable:

Plans change; I change with them. Usually without drama.

High Standards for Myself:

The job has to be done right. This should technically be a strength but can be a double edged sword especially in group settings.

Creative and Realistic:

I see possibilities where others see problems. I also see potential problems in future possibilities.

Perfectionist:

Bob Ross said it best: “We don’t make mistakes, we have happy accidents.” I just plan my happy accidents meticulously.

Detail Oriented:

It’s the little things that make the biggest difference.

Task Hoarder:

Can I do it all? Yes. Should I? hmmm.. debatable.

Efficient:

If there’s a better way, I’ll find it. If you beat me to it, we will be best friends.
