As a co-founder at Né Nepal, I am passionate about creating a dialogue about Nepali culture that meets at the cusp of tradition, community, and craftsmanship. I harmonize seemingly opposite eras into beautifully crafted pieces that define the present and last a lifetime. With over six years of experience in this role, I have successfully launched a collection of artisanal luxury products that are tailor-made for connoisseurs and seekers of ancestral stories, provincial art, and modern heirlooms.I also work as a brand marketing lead at Burma Burma Restaurant & Tea Room, where I oversee all activities and communication channels used to promote the brand or products of the company. With over eight years of experience in this role, I have designed and implemented effective marketing strategies, coordinated various phases of marketing campaigns, and evaluated the campaigns' results. I have also managed, scouted, and analyzed all outside agencies and talents, and built a communication strategy for the brand. I have a strong background in public relations, event planning, social media marketing, and digital marketing, and I am always eager to learn new skills and explore new opportunities.
