Although, art was her favourite subject in school, she left it after her GCSEs. She told PEOPLE, "I also had a brain and I was pushed into thinking you shouldn't be an artist because you won't make any money. It was the first time I had painted in like six years. I painted a huge colourful cow mural as they're holy in India." On returning, she went to London to learn art and pursue a career in it.

She then uploaded the picture of the cow on her Instagram and soon her friends and relatives wanted her to paint pictures of their dog. She said, "Someone would ask me to paint a blue dog, that kind of thing. I made a bit of a name for myself painting these colourful animals, because it was a bit of a niche."

As she was trying her best to grow her business she was approached by Jenna Meek, an acquaintance who was setting up jewellery brand Gypsy Shrine. "While at Coachella, we had the glitter boobs idea.
