As a dedicated and versatile designer with a first-class Bachelor of Honours in Design from Massey University, I specialise in graphic and spatial design. My career has allowed me to explore various design disciplines, showcasing my adaptability and readiness to tackle diverse design challenges.

I am currently self-employed as an artist under my business, Chhika Designs, where I create commissioned landscape paintings within New Zealand and am about to launch a collection of prints. What began as a graphic design-focused business has since centred on acrylic painting. I enjoy painting from my memories and look forward to expanding this creative journey.

While at Robertson Architects and Charlotte Minty Interior Design (CMID), I improved my graphic and interior design skills, gaining valuable insights that fueled my passion for creating engaging and effective visual solutions. My experience extended into 3D modelling, technical drawings, mood board creation, and site measurements, which enhanced my design visualisation, technical drafting, and spatial planning abilities.

With a broad design background and a passion for innovative solutions, I am eager to bring fresh perspectives and make a meaningful impact on future projects. My commitment to excellence in design and my drive to contribute effectively to new endeavours allow me to adapt to and embrace new opportunities.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to connecting with you!
