Envisioning a better Nepal
‘Nepal Kasto Hunthyo Hola’ is a long-term conceptual project through which I explore alternative futures for Nepal by reimagining cities, architecture, and public spaces rooted in traditional Nepali architectural wisdom. I use AI to quickly visualise ideas and explore multiple scenarios, while the core concepts, cultural sensitivity, and architectural logic remain entirely human-led. The project continues to grow through partnerships, public dialogue, and collaborative suggestions.
Using LLMs for reports, proposals, and idea structuring
I use Large Language Models as thinking and structuring tools to draft, refine, and organise reports, proposals, scripts, and concept notes. They help improve clarity, speed, and coherence, allowing me to focus more on critical thinking, strategy, and creative decision-making rather than replacing authorship.
Mythology with a modern narrative
‘Jhya Maru Khya’ is a fictional mythical character inspired by Nepali cultural essence and folklore, reinterpreted through a contemporary narrative language. I use AI for form exploration and visual experimentation, but the mythology, symbolism, and storytelling are intentionally authored by me—bridging cultural memory with modern imagination.
A superhero character
‘Pukulu’ is a positive superhero character I created to spread optimism, emotional reassurance, and gentle problem-solving energy. Rather than conflict-driven heroism, Pukulu focuses on small human moments—offering encouragement, curiosity, and calm in everyday situations. AI supports visual exploration and narrative variations, while the emotional tone and psychological intent are carefully shaped by my own human experience to consistently deliver a positive vibe.
AI as a medium, not a shortcut
As a graphic designer and editor, I do not rely solely on AI prompts. The primary creative work lies in editing, compositing, detailing, and refinement. My background in architecture, cinema, music, and design enables me to transform AI-generated material into a personal, evolving visual language rather than generic outputs.
