Passion
Trails less travelled.
“Exploring the mountains, taking trails less travelled, and losing myself in the beauty of nature.”
Trekking is where I stopped being a stranger to strangers. A week on a trail with people you have never met is an unusually honest research setting: you listen, you adapt, you carry your own weight.
On film

Buran Ghati Pass
Himachal Pradesh
High pass crossing, rope descent, long days.

Uttarakhand
A winter summit trek in the Govind Pashu Vihar National Park.
Sandakphu Phalut

Walking the Singalila ridge with four of the world's highest peaks in view.
Beyond the mountains
Craft
Making things by hand keeps me patient about detail and comfortable with iteration you cannot undo.
Fitness
Consistency over intensity. The same reason my design work leans on repeatable patterns rather than one-off flourishes.
A week on a trail with people you have never met is unusually good practice for design work: you ask, you listen, and you adjust to whoever you are walking with.
