My path since then has been anything but conventional. I earned a degree in Commerce, yet soon left Calcutta for Singapore, to work with the Airlines. That experience sparked my love for travel, good food and fresh perspectives. Marriage brought me to London, where I studied design and styling, worked with an Italian interior design firm and eventually co-founded a home-run catering kitchen in 2007. While my partner managed the kitchen, I brought creativity to food-scaping and presentation, seeking a better balance between work and life.

It was then I realised that food was the most understated hero. Décor, entertainment and menus received attention, but food itself rarely did. I shifted the spotlight, making cuisine the centrepiece. Soon I was curating intimate parties and designing event spaces and somewhere along the way, I found my calling in storytelling through food.

Each chapter of my journey revealed a new part of me. I learned I was never meant to be one thing. Not a title. Not a label. Not a number on a business card. I have learned to trust instinct and to see creativity not as a career, but as a way of life.

Today, I run a styling studio that brings together everything I have lived, loved, and learned. I specialise in conceptual food presentation for weddings and special events, crafting visual stories where cuisine and décor blend seamlessly. I see every table as a stage, every platter as a canvas, every event as a story waiting to be told.

I now also style homes that reflect the people who live in them and the things they cherish. A home, to me, is not about furniture or trends, but about identity and memory, a place where comfort meets style. I layer textiles, books, art, plants, family history and furniture to create spaces that feel soulful rather than staged. Homes, I believe, should evolve with their owners, becoming diaries of experiences, passions, and values. I strongly believe that your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love.

I take on only a few projects at a time because I believe beauty needs patience and storytelling deserves space. I believe in individuality, in design that outlives trends, in details that matter and in creating spaces—edible or otherwise, that hold memory.

To sum up my philosophy, I return to the words of Helena Bonham Carter:
“I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.”
