Hi. I’m Avani — which is pronounced oven-e, like a dating site for ovens. I love cooking up corporate lingo like “bandwidth,” “circle back,” and “ducks in a row.”

If you don’t have the bandwidth to get my name right, call me by my nickname, Barkha, which is not at all easier to pronounce. It means “rain” in Hindi, and symbolizes how I pour my heart into everything I do. 

You can see the splash in the way I take care of my family and my work and my art which sometimes feels like work. So as we circle back to my job title “Art Director,” it seems a more appropriate title is actually: “Heart Director.”

I probably could’ve splashed some ducks in a row but I didn’t want to drown them.
