Growing up in a multicultural family has nurtured my sensitivity and adaptability, significantly shaping my daily life. This diverse upbringing acts as a catalyst, encouraging curiosity and empathy. I believe these experiences have led me to a creative side of the world, exploring and experimenting in the fields of photography, travel tourism, art (mixed media) and cooking!

ಗೌರಿ literally means 'Gauri' in Kannada language, holds a deep cultural resonance, symbolizing purity and beauty, and has been passed down to me through my father, anchoring my identity in the rich linguistic heritage. This name not only reflects my roots but also serves as a living connection to my family's legacy and the traditions that shape who I am.
