Hi, Iβm Bhargs, pronounced like βbarksβ, short for Bhargavi (Bar-guh-vee).
My love for design began during childhood, helping my mom make little trinkets to decorate our home. I fell into design wanting to serve and create a safe internet.
Beyond that, I own a small business, making and selling handmade artwork: ceramics, stained glass, clothing, anything that comes to mind.
