Designer Spotlight: Chetana Sharma

The Art of gifting
The Art of gifting!

 
I am quite fussy about giving and receiving gifts. It doesn’t matter how big, small, expensive or cheap the gift is…I feel good when it comes packaged attractively, just goes to show that one has put in their effort and time on personalizing the gift. While you can pick up a dime-a-dozen gifting solutions off the shelf, you have to look beyond them to get something unique and designer. Take a look at some design ideas by a designer whose design statement is ‘Passionate Eccentricity!’

Chetana Sharma, the name behind ‘I ME AM’ is a New Delhi based graphic designer specializing in gifting solutions. OUT OF THE BOX is an outcome of a passionate sense of design, an eccentricity to make living simple and stylish. The brand puts forth a sense of culture bolted with edgy easy solutions catering to the desire to be creative, hampered with the lack of time to execute…

What do you think about these gifting ideas? Are you fussy about the ‘Art of gifting’ like me or just don’t bother how you give or receive gifts?

Thanks: Chetana Sharma

    Anusha, yes, it looks like a silk fabric to me.

    Pat, I guess it’s the women who are generally fussy about the way things should be presented. I am hoping my hubby reads this too 🙂
