ABOUT Latika
Latika was born in Chennai, India, and raised in Hong Kong and Mumbai. She grew up with a love for culture, transience, and movement. After completing her B.A. in Fashion Design and Textiles at LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore, she went on to receive her M.F.A. in Textiles from the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence.
Now based in Colorado, she enjoys biking, hiking, and thrifting, and is on a mission to visit every state in the U.S. (23/50 and counting!).
With a multidisciplinary, innovative, and research-driven approach to design, Latika is energized by discovering novel ways to reinterpret traditional design for the future. As a designer, she aims to collaborate, build community, and foster human-centered thinking through color, material, and technology.
