Project: Swan Paper-Craft, revolved around Royal Indian birds and was completed in a short span of just six days. She seems to have figure out perfectly, what will appeal to her audience. The application of colour develops a connection between the designer and viewer making the selection an important step. Colour, she believes, is a strategic decision; it either makes or breaks design. Consistency, knowing your material and applying your skill set are just few of many things to take away from this designer.
