What Being South Asian Mean to You?
Before I launched Denimrush, I started my career in interior design, and even then there was a lot of doubt whether or not I would be successful in such a creative field because it wasn't the norm. I was just following my passion, but I also felt this immense responsibility to set the example that it's OK to take a nontraditional career path. I'm proud to be working in this industry, and I hope we can continue to embrace diversity because it makes us better when we understand and serve different perspectives.
What Does It Mean to Have Style Right Now?
Style today means wearing your independence. Especially with so many people working from home, work and casual clothes have become intertwined, so we now have the freedom to mix and match almost everything in our closet. At Denimrush, we celebrate this freedom — each piece we create is one of a kind to empower individual style.
The Best Piece of Career Advice You've Gotten?
I struggle the most with overthinking things! The best advice I've ever received is to keep it simple. It's better to make a decision and try something new rather than to stay in limbo because it leads to action, and you never know what that decision might lead you to.
Something You Wish You Knew Before Starting Your Business?
What people see on the outside or on social media is the highlights — the glamour of being your own boss and owning a business. Something I wish I knew beforehand is that there is so much hard work that goes unnoticed. The biggest challenge for me is making crucial decisions, especially in the beginning when so many things are unknown and new. I've learned that in one day there will be many highs and lows, but you just have to adapt to the situation and allow yourself to be comfortable with a little chaos!
