Who is

Updesh?

I grew up in Punjab, India — farming villages, open fields - the kind of place that stays with you 🌾 I moved to California in the end of 2025 and honestly, the weather feels close enough to home that settling in was easy and now I love it here ❤️

Outside of work I paint (nothing fancy). I do embroidery, take a lot of photos — mostly random, quiet, everyday things. And I'm almost always listening to Punjabi music.
