Living in peninsular India surrounded by Ghats, I specialize in creating surface patterns for all kinds of projects. I’m also a certified jacquard designer, especially for silk sarees. My work is inspired by the beauty of where I come from.

​

Raveena Design House is home to all my creativity and passion. I have a knack for floral and ethnic-inspired designs. I believe that there is nothing more inspiring than nature. I take inspiration from nature and travel

​

I like making vector designs especially repeat patterns and illustrations. I provide art licensing and resources for creative businesses. I’m focused on bringing unique, high-quality contemporary, and traditional surface designs to the global market. I love to see my artwork in all kinds of products. My color inspirations are mainly from sceneries and photography.

​

How I got here?

​

When I was soul-searching for my dream job, I realized, I wanted my career to be not just interesting but something in which I would lose myself in passion.

​

However, like any other graduate in Electronics and Communication Engineering, I ended up in a software-developing corporate company. To be frank, at the end of my college life, I didn't think much about my passion. In fact, I had no idea what to do next! I remember having a strong regret for not pursuing my passion. I knew working there was not my destiny. My soul was searching for a career that gives me pleasure, not Monday morning blues! I overcame my depression and stress by painting. Each day I’ll make at least one artwork. I used to do freestyle designs during my free time in the office. I found peace in front of my artboard. And all of sudden I realized that my passion was designing.

​

Yet my dream got postponed just a little further as I had to leave my day job and enter a life of matrimony. New place, no job, and lots of alone time, so I took out my crochet hook and started to make crochet projects. I started a new Instagram page, a website, and a YouTube channel for crocheting. And these platforms have taught me another big lesson, how to promote oneself on social media. I learned how to create websites, film, and edit videos.

​

But I knew that is not my desired career. I asked my soul a question, what am I truly yearning to do in my life? And magically my soul answered that my passion is designing. It insisted that life is all about patterns. Life is full of patterns!

​

Soon, I realized that following my passion as a career is the only way to make me truly happy.

​

Then I searched hard for how to become a designer. After researching for a few months, I joined the jacquard designing class. I learned how to make traditional designs for Indian attires (Sarees) and other home decor. I got to know about how hand looms and power loom work and what kind of designs can be reproduced in looms. It got me really engaged and my curiosity grew. I was striving hard to learn more about design. And here I got the spark of Surface Pattern Designing. Then again, I searched for how to pursue it. This time I didn’t attend any design classes. I knew that I can do this on my own. I researched surface patterns and textile prints. Then I self-taught myself in this field. It took everything I loved, my desire, and my passion then wrapped them up into an amazing career option. I decided I am going to be a surface pattern designer. And driven by the excitement, here I am launching my own brand of pattern designing, RAVEENA DESIGN HOUSE (formerly known as Raveena Studio)
