Illustrator: Gurpreet K Panesar
Gurpreet is a multidisciplinary illustrator and creative who believes the stories of women in Sikhi deserve to be told in ways that feel alive and deeply relevant to the women of today. Through her art, she reimagines these stories with colour, soul, and intention; celebrating identity, heritage, and modern femininity. She is also the founder of Tiffin Society, a platform where Indian tradition meets contemporary design. For Gurpreet, creativity is an act of love for culture, for community, and for every Kaur who sees herself in the work.
