A little about me!

Hi, I’m Radhika.

I spent the last three years working in corporate. My last company was a startup, and when the office shut down, I decided to take a break instead of rushing to find another job.

And honestly, it’s been worth it. I finally had something I hadn’t really had in those years — time.

For the last few years, life had become a constant cycle of work, deadlines, meetings and figuring out what needed to happen next. Everything was moving so fast that somewhere along the way, I had stopped making time for the things I genuinely enjoyed.

I’m someone who gets excited about trying new things. I love painting, drawing, playing sports and card games, travelling, finding new places and generally saying yes to random plans. And I love that all of this gives me a chance to meet people and hear their stories.

During my break, I started creating content because I wanted to share all these little experiences — the places I visit, things I make, things I try and everything in between.

I’m a huge mountain person, and Himachal is my favourite place in the world. I try to go every year and find the offbeat little places. My last trip was to Shoja and I still haven’t quite gotten over it.

I’ve also realised that I really like a slower life. Not necessarily doing less, but actually having the time to enjoy what I’m doing.

I’ve always been creative, but this break gave me the space to actually do something with it. And that’s how this little website came about.

For now, I’m sharing the things I make — games and paintings. Giving away something I’ve made from scratch is actually pretty hard for me. A part of me always wants to keep it forever.

But this time, instead of keeping everything I make tucked away with me, I want to create things that find their way into other homes and other lives — and hopefully make someone smile, slow down, play a little, or simply make their space feel a little more like them.

So, this is me — figuring things out, trying new things, making things, and hopefully living a little slower along the way.

I’m really glad you’re here.

And this is just the beginning.

I have a lot of ideas floating around in my head. Some will become paintings, some games, some completely random things. I’m excited to see where this little experiment takes me.
