Resume
My passion for justice in the textiles industry has taken me on meaningful journeys throughout India, calling me to advocate for fair trade practices with marginalised farmers, artisans and tailors who are hidden behind complex supply chains.
My inspiration is enriched by people I have met and the beautifully diverse textiles and jewellery techniques they practise. I endeavour to elevate marginalised craftspeople by acknowledging their skills, advocate for fair trade practices and connect the producer directly with the consumer.
