Born in the UK and raised across Ireland, India and the USA, I trained in architecture, music and visual communication. In 2011, I founded Roopa Design — a multidisciplinary studio spanning public art, participation and commercial design. Alongside design work for businesses, artists and cultural organisations, I lead public commissions, community programmes and creative health projects. My work sits at the intersection of art, design and creative facilitation; grounded in colour, connection and care.
How I work
