Born between two worlds — New York City and Dhaka — I've always lived at the threshold of things.
Who I Am
I help people see what they already know but haven't been able to name — through tarot, art, and the kind of conversation that changes you.
My Story
The Path That Brought Me Here
Roots & Upbringing
Born between two worlds
I was born in Elmhurst, Queens, NYC, into a home where creativity was a way of life. My father was a photographer and artist. My mother, a painter and dancer.
Because of my father's work with UNICEF, I spent my childhood between the raw electricity of New York City and the vibrant soul of Dhaka, Bangladesh. That duality shaped everything: east and west, art and activism, spirit and story.
Storytelling & the Call of Art
I started drawing early and never stopped
At 13, I was accepted into the High School of Art and Design in NYC, where I studied illustration and comics. I was obsessed with storytelling — folklore, mythology, and the deep human need to tell tales that stave off the dark.
Poetry, prose, and image became my first spiritual languages.
Tarot, Spirit & the Unseen
The cards found me
Tarot entered my life as a language for what couldn't be said in ordinary speech. It gave form to intuition, pattern to chaos. I studied the symbolism deeply — its roots in art history, kabbalah, alchemy, and myth.
What began as personal practice became a calling to guide others through their own liminal moments.
Where I Am Now
The mirror and the work
Today I work at the intersection of art, spirit, and deep listening. I read tarot, create oracle decks, paint, and hold space for those standing at thresholds — between who they were and who they're becoming.
This is the work I was always meant to do.
"The cards don't tell you what will happen.
They show you what's already true — the part of yourself you haven't looked at yet."
