Old Goa, Goa, India

My interest lies in the intersection of a circular economy, waste management, sustainable design, and arts. I pursued a master’s degree in energy management from the University of Twente, The Netherlands where I worked on multiple projects that dealt with facilitating a circular economy in Europe. I was moved by the deep connection between how efficient design can aid the process of sustainable development and that’s where I found his purpose in starting One By Two designs. When I am not working on professional ventures I prepare for ultra-marathons and also make films. Subsequently, I want to build a platform for a self-sufficient organic farming community and off-grid living
