WOODWORKING
Some of my earliest memories of woodworking are at a family friend's sawmill, the smell of sawdust, the sound of the saw, piles of timber waiting to become something. That environment stuck with me. What began as collecting wood for bonfires slowly turned into a fascination with the material itself, its grain, its texture, what it could be shaped into. I taught myself from YouTube videos, then took what I'd learned into workshops in Bangalore and Goa to go further.
I kept returning to the sawmill, kept making small things and somewhere in that repetition, "a hobby" quietly became "a craft."

Overview
Woodworking became the foundation of how I think. Beyond learning craftsmanship, it taught me to observe carefully, experiment with ideas and improve them through iteration. From simple practice pieces to furniture and user-centred design, every project shaped the way I approach products, systems and real-world problems today.

No dedicated workshop, just a bedroom, a living room and plenty of tools. I built with what I had.
