My journey began with a simple love for creating

Ever since I was three, I found joy in making things. Not buying them. Making them. Hand painting wasn't a hobby, it was the way I understood the world. And eventually, it became my business. That's how Hand Painted Journey got its name.

For years, I watched the world fill up with fast fashion and factory-made gifts. Things that looked the same, felt the same, and meant nothing to the person receiving them. Everything started to feel rushed and replaceable. I was tired of it. I longed to celebrate something slower, more inclusive, and more sustainable.

That’s when I turned back to what I have always believed in, my passion- Hand painted art. I began studying Indian local art forms and patterns. Inspired by their stories, I created designs and painted them onto my own shirt and shoes. Imagine starting from scratch - no knowledge, no experience, no mentors to guide, but a burning desire to create something incredible. The first time I wore one of my painted pieces to a community event, people stopped me to ask about it. A woman told me I should start selling. I didn't believe her, until my very first Instagram post, a tote bag I'd painted, got me my first paid order.

That was the beginning.

Since then, Hand Painted Journey has grown into a studio that makes custom art for brands, corporates, and individuals. We've worked with Rolls Royce, Isha Foundation, Adidas, Kiehl's, D.E. Shaw, and dozens of individuals who wanted something that couldn't be bought off a shelf.

What began with a single tote bag has grown into a collection of hand-painted pieces that celebrate individuality and art in everyday life. Every piece is made by hand, slowly with the belief that started all of this- that art should celebrate the person receiving it, not just fill a box.
