Hi, I'm Shreya, and I am a storyteller who moves between spreadsheets and runways without missing a beat. I grew up in Cary, North Carolina, but I've never really stayed in one lane: one week I'm choreographing a routine for my cultural dance team, the next I'm hand-embroidering traditional patterns my grandmother taught me before she passed, and the week after that I'm walking a show at Paris Fashion Week. I'm the kind of person who picks up a new hobby the way other people pick up coffee orders: fashion, painting, dance, whatever's new catches my attention and I want to get good at it.

Right now I'm studying Advertising and Public Relations at UNC Chapel Hill, with a minor in Sociology and a certification in Fashion Communications and Marketing. But honestly, my favorite classroom has always been the world. Travel and my own cultural roots taught me as much about how people connect as any lecture has.

What I actually love doing is figuring out why something resonates. Give me a brand, a culture, a Gen Z audience that's tired of being marketed to, and I want to dig into what makes them stop scrolling and actually feel something: curious, amused, seen. I've built that instinct from both sides of the camera: writing the strategy behind a campaign and then stepping in front of the lens to help bring it to life, which gives me a read on storytelling that's rare to have from just one side.

I work fluently across Adobe's creative suite (Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Lightroom, and Firefly), Canva, Shopify, and Microsoft 365 — tools that let me move fast between the analytical and the visual. But if you want the real me: I'm the person who'll notice the one interesting detail in a room, turn it into a story, and probably talk your ear off about it afterward.
