Born and raised in Nepal, I am now living in Edinburgh, creating stories and illustrations from my cosy studio in my home. I love working early in the mornings when everyone is still asleep and often ideas come to me when I sip my coffee looking out at the sunrise. Nature is where I take my inspiration and I love to spend my free time outdoors be it walking at the Botanic Gardens or hiking in the Scottish Highlands.

When working on an illustration, I prefer to embrace the unexpected. I do not always know how an illustration may turn out but rather follow a rough idea in my head and trust my intuition. I also like to experiment on my actual final illustrations, without doing any drafts first. This way any unexpected spills and smudges can add a peculiar characteristic to the finished piece.
