Sukushine is a whimsical alias my dad coined for me when we were brainstorming for my first email address in 2005. It has since been a constant reminder, urging me to shine in all my endeavors, regardless of their outcomes. This optimistic spirit fueled my passion for the arts, leading me to study Textile Design—as a way to reconnect with my South Asian roots. After 3 fast tracked years at the Maryland Institute College of Art, I was eager to blend my creative skillset with an entrepreneurial mindset. I turned to a Design Management course at Parsons School of Design in NYC. Both the program & the vibrant city taught me the essentials for steering a creative venture, while also anchoring it in genuine business value. Now, with a heart full of dreams & hands poised to turn them into reality, I hope to seamlessly weave together the worlds of business & south asian design. All while emanating the luminous spirit my dad recognized in his 7-year-old daughter.
