Work life balance begins with self-care. I can’t effectively show up for work or life if I am not here. There was a period of time when our children were younger that the balance was not there. I worked full-time while also caring for our three girls, attending all their activities, and many other obligations. I did not reach out for help because there wasn’t much available; therefore, I got lost in it all.  Read More>>

I think I was always meant to pursue a creative career, even if it didn’t feel obvious at first. Growing up, I lived in very different cultural environments—Muscat, then Chennai, and now Atlanta—and each place shaped me in its own way.

Somewhere in the middle of all that, I found myself turning to stories as a way to process and connect. Read More>>

I believe parenting is a continuous cycle that should grow stronger with each generation. With every new phase, we gain more wisdom, perspective, and clarity; not just about life, but about how our own upbringing shaped us. I’ve become more intentional in recognizing what I lacked or needed as a child, and I try to give my children what I wish I had, while also teaching them to build upon what I was able to give. To me, the most important thing I’ve done as a parent is focus on strengthening our generational foundation. Read More>>

One of the habits that’s helped me most is making time for passion projects. As creatives, it’s easy to feel stuck in routines, whether at school or a 9-to-5. Side projects give me the space to reset, experiment, and create without pressure. Sometimes that means testing a new technique; other times, it’s bringing a random idea to life. Read More>>

I’ve always been wanting to make a career out of something I love to do and that is making movies and music. Everyday I am inspired by something that makes me want to put up either a camera and start filming or pick up a mic and start recording. If it wasn’t those two, I would probably edit or draw something. Since I was 6 years old, I always wanted to start a career in the entertainment industry. All these ideas that are f]owing through my head, it was a no brainer to make it a career. Read More>>
