Hi!
I craft playful and safe spaces of learning that empower people to build resilience, creative agency, a sense of wonder, and connections with self and others. All so that we can co-create a world where everyone belongs!
Drawing from over ten years of experience leading projects at the trans-disciplinary intersection of Design, Heritage+Culture, and Learning, I work to empower learners of all ages build skills and mindsets essential to live, learn, work, and thrive in the 21st century. I help learners ask questions, think critically, build creatively, and collaborate mindfully; to be rooted in their own cultural heritage and confident about their future in an interconnected world.
Using people centred, participatory design approaches and experiential pedagogies, I have designed and facilitated hundreds of engaging in person and online workshops, trainings, curricula, and learning resources with partners across the world.
I am originally from New Delhi, India, have lived and worked in Boston, MA, USA, and am currently based in Oxford, UK.
