My Work

Green & Circular Materials, Livelihoods

I work with green and circular materials to build livelihood systems that function in real conditions. The focus is on turning natural and discarded materials into usable products, repeatable skills, and work that sustains people beyond short-term projects.

Women Prison Livelihood Systems

This project was about setting up skill training and production systems for women prisoners using circular materials.

Upcycled Drum Furniture

I worked on converting discarded oil drums into functional products through material reprocessing, fabrication, and finishing/

Upcycled Tyre Furniture

I worked on converting discarded tyres into functional furniture through cutting, reinforcement, and finishing processes.

Upcycled Shipping Belt Bags

I worked on developing bags using discarded shipping belts, focusing on material selection, and stitch systems suited to the material.

Waste Picker Livelihood Systems

I worked on building livelihood pathways for waste pickers by linking material recovery with structured production and market outputs.

Recycled Plastic Housing

I worked on developing housing components using processed single-use plastic waste as a construction material.

Upcycled Saree Furniture

I worked on developing furniture using discarded sarees combined with basic structural frames.

Upcycled Saree Bags

I worked on converting discarded sarees into functional bags through material sorting, pattern development, and stitching systems.

Men Prison Livelihood Systems

I worked on setting up skill training and production systems for men prisoners using green & circular materials.

Refugee Women Livelihoods

The project involved in setting up skill training and production systems for refugee women around their challenges.

Upcycled Plastic Crafts

I worked on developing craft products using post industrial plastic waste, focusing on finishing suitable for small-scale production.

Upcycled Car Seat Belt Bags

I explored ways to turn low-grade plastic waste into simple, usable craft forms. The work centered on experimenting with form, finish.

Upcycled Denim Bags

I worked on repurposing discarded denim into functional bags by working with fabric variation, reinforcement, and construction techniques.

Upcycled Tea Sack Bags

I worked on adapting used tea sacks into durable carry products by responding to the material’s weave, wear, and limitations.

Historically Marginalized Women

I worked on building practical skill training around materials and making, tailored to women with limited access to formal work.
