Her creative journey began when her husband brought her flowers from work. Inspired, she explored floral decorations. Borrowing ₹5,000 from a friend, she showcased her talent at Wipro and landed a ₹45,000 project. Balancing home life and motherhood, she slowly built her name.

She opened a small flower shop in Jayanagar, which grew quickly. She later started Calyx, an event company that handled weddings and big corporate events.

When Bosch asked her to do landscaping, she self-studied the subject and bagged her first ₹4.5 lakh project. Soon, she became a top landscape expert and handled projects for prestigious companies like Tata Steel.
