Anwesha PatnaikI guess designing and being creative had always been there in my blood. Subconciously i want aesthetics and function to be balanced in everything since childhood, I got this from my father who is a graduate from JJ school of arts and has been an inspiration throughout. Since grade 6 i had made up my mind that i wanted to be a designer and luckily i landed up in National Institute of Fashion Technology, New Delhi which taught me how to design and showed me the real world of designing. I always take inspiration from the nature that is widespread around me. The forms are just beautiful. My style of working is very clean and bold and that is refected in my design as well. My dream is to be an asset to to the world of product designing and i hope i ful�ll it soon.
