There are certain era's a designer feels most close to or can relate to thinking it best depicts their art work or their thinking pattern. The simplicity of life and people of the sepia and black and white days are my favorite. During my thesis I had taken a few pictures of Jinnah House in my country which was built after 1947 for the founder of our country. The building stays in its full grandeur till today. I used the photography of this house created some digital designs for apparel using motifs such as Turkish and Blue Pottery motifs and created  compositions recently for a client when I was working freelance.






Attached here are the designs that I came up with.

The first colorful pattern with various material insertions is a table cloth finished with an orange handwoven lace and the second is a recently woven shawl for a customer on a similar design pattern but with a grey background. My love for creating hand product shas grown immencely.

Face Masks and the Importance of print and color

Image
When the COVID 19 suddenly impacted the whole world. With the shortage of face masks people were trying to figure out how to provide/produce proper PPE  for essential workers and our front liners. With the shortage of  face masks along with many community members of  Richmond Virginia I decided to become  member of  RVA masks for health.
