Sharmishtha Talukdar is a Creative Strategist at Disruptve. Originally from Long Island, now based in New York City, she is  pursuing a BA in Advertising and Marketing Communications at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she explores how storytelling, business, and visual cultures intersect.

With a background in art and a deep interest in the complexities of identity, she draws from her Filipino and Indian heritage to create work that navigates cultural tension, memory, and belonging. Sharmishtha’s creative practice is rooted in curiosity and a desire to explore what’s often overlooked in a fast-moving world, finding poetry in the ordinary through writing and visual expression.

Outside of the studio she has worked on fashion shows and event planning and is interested in integrating the fashion and art worlds through a lens of ethics, sustainability, and global consciousness. At Disruptve, she sees art as a powerful way to surface questions about how we live, connect, and imagine differently.
