A Few Things That Make Me, Well... Me.
A Few Things That Make Me, Well... Me.
BombayGOATS, My Lockdown Brainchild
In 2020, when COVID lockdowns had everyone rediscovering hobbies, I went all in on cycling. I founded BombayGOATS, a biking club with a vision for a startup—a bike apparel and DIY bike paint brand. I designed cycling kits ranging from sleek minimalism to bold, unconventional graphics.
The coolest part? I picked up DIY spray-painting, turning bikes into rolling art pieces. I learned the required skills and tricks from Squid Bikes, GCN, Fatcreations and ETOE. My first experiment? My own bike, proudly spotted in a pic with its orange frame. BombayGOATS hit pause when I moved to the US for my master’s, but the dream’s still alive.
The beginning of design was when..
I started my journey with a diploma in fine art. Painting landscapes live, realistic still lifes, and mastering the flows of watercolors. I still love sketching and painting when I get the chance.
I am also an Aquascaper
FYI: It is an artistic hobby of building water landscape with real plants, water creatures and its own tech to maintain its ecosystem. AND IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE! My mom’s a botanist, so I blame her for my love of aquascaping and terrariums. These mini-worlds are worth being broke for.
My Instagram is where..
I waste time creatively, I guess. When I’m not designing your dream project, I’m experimenting with filming #ShotOniPhone clips, editing trendy sequences, showcasing photography, and posting a mix of fun and personal side. It is a creative outlet for my so-called 'wasted' time.
Exploring the Abandoned.
I’ve got a thing for man-made, dilapidated locations. Even haunted ones (been twice!). No fear, just creativity.
I pet paws, scales, and everything in between.
I’m not just into dogs and cats. I’ve had pets like snails, cherry shrimps, sparrows, and other small underwater creatures too. These days, it’s all about my German Shepherd, Cooper. FYI, he’s a marathon dog, we actually took home the gold🥇
When I Accidentally Signed Up for Coding at Parsons..
So, I got admitted to a '30-credit X 9 months program,' thinking I could manage that intense timeline despite my lack of experience (overconfidence, you know). Most students take 15 months to finish, but I aimed for the fast track. Then came the core course, 'Typography & Interaction.' I assumed it was all about fancy font design—spoiler: NOPE! It was coding. Total meltdown. I freaked out! But from being dangerously clueless to actually learning it, I realized that diving headfirst into the unknown (especially with a hefty price tag) can sometimes pay off. Another versatility milestone marked.
Went wild with a hair experiments..
From blue-dyed hair to blonde, long locks, and a top knot paired with a long beard, I’ve tried it all. Except for clean-shaven. Did it once, and my friends said I looked like a chubby alien. Never again.
