About Me





 Hi there! I’m Poonam Agarwal, a software engineer by profession, but a craft enthusiast at heart. While I spend my weekdays coding and solving technical challenges, my true passion lies in the world of creativity and craftsmanship. When I'm not working on software projects, you can find me immersed in the world of art, exploring different forms of traditional and contemporary crafts.

Through DesiKalakaar, I share my love for Indian art, culture, and creativity. Whether it’s Madhubani, Warli, or Kalamkari, I believe in celebrating the beauty and intricacies of these timeless traditions while blending them with modern creative ideas. My goal is to inspire you to explore your artistic side, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist.

When I’m not crafting or blogging, I love spending quality time with my little princesses and entertaining family and friends. Life is all about finding that perfect balance between work, creativity, and cherishing the moments that matter most.

DesiKalakaar is my way of bringing together my love for both the technical and the creative worlds. I invite you to join me on this journey of art, culture, and creativity, where we’ll explore, create, and have fun together.

Thank you for stopping by and being a part of DesiKalakaar!
