Profile

She’s made hundreds of unique visual and strategy projects.

“Mastering the art of inviting isn’t just about skill – it’s about learning from life itself. Have you ever noticed how what’s inviting varies from person to person and moment to moment? For some, there’s nothing quite as inviting as a warm cup of tea on a rainy day. For others, it’s an ice-cold drink, no matter what the weather. It’s all about individual tastes, preferences, and personal associations. That, to me, is the true art of inviting – knowing what truly resonates with you.”

ASHNA SHAH

Uttara's team understood the vision intuitively and reflected it tenfold in the elegant artwork, detailed craftsmanship, and thoughtful utility of their work. The design language they crafted at the onset has forever iconized our wedding for us - and still triggers familiar excitement every time I catch a glimpse of that deep blue ink and kaleidoscope mandala. Bespoke is truly their mantra - not just in design and production, but in flexing to client needs, spoken or unsaid.

Craftmanship / making ideation &
concept process

The most traditional of symbols, patterns and motifs given a whole new look and feel on our drawing boards, as we went ahead with crafting the card – taking care, as usual, to get all the details right. 
Ganesha went geometric – with every fold immaculately in place. Mogra blossoms emerged in delicate white emboss all around the edge of the inserts.
Gold glittered in the handwoven cloth backdrop, with hand-teased edges, from which single strands were picked out to form a delicate instrumentation.

Resplendent silken colours featured like sari-borders on the headers of each insert – offsetting the bold gold foil patterns. All placed in layers – level upon level and framed with love, for keeps!
