Hello! I am an artist in love with storytelling, illustration, and documentation. Since my day job as an UX Designer keeps me in India for most of the year, I highly cherish every opportunity I get to travel and I extensively capture these little freedoms in pictures that can be found on my website.

On my youtube channel are my first three amateur tries at capturing places through moving image. While I put together the videos purely as journal entries for myself (and I understand that they are not the best examples of my work) they were made with a lot of heart and inspired me to aspire to be a professional in filmmaking. I see that there is so much to learn in this wonderful field and I would be extremely grateful for an opportunity to learn from a professional.

I believe I am a deserving candidate because I have years of history with photography, design and art-- and a LOT of love for filmmaking. I am a fast learner, a good listener and an easy travel companion. I love that strangers open up to me and in turn I love to do the same. I have been saving for long term travel from 2017 onwards, when I plan to document 12 countries over 12 months, and interestingly Cambodia was on my list! This opportunity, if given to me, would be a great coincidence and a blessing. I hope you pick me :) Thanks!
