Compulsive Upcycler
Upcycled home decor made from discarded materials. From ocean waste to everyday living—crafted with care. Handmade in Goa. So I started picking them up.
What was once tangled and forgotten along Goa’s coastline now finds its way into homes as art. Compulsive Upcycler began not just as a creative pursuit, but as a shift in the way I wanted to live. After years of working in the fast-paced tech world, life brought me from the chaos of city living to the slower, quieter rhythm of Goa. It was meant to be a change of pace—but it became a change of perspective. The beaches here are beautiful, but they also tell a different story. Discarded fishing nets, washed ashore and left behind, silently harming marine life and blending into the landscape. Once I noticed them, I couldn’t unsee them. What began as curiosity slowly turned into creation. These nets—sun-faded, salt-worn, imperfect—became the foundation of something new. At Compulsive Upcycler, I transform discarded fishing nets and overlooked materials into one-of-a-kind decor pieces, each carrying a story of rescue, renewal, and conscious living. This isn’t just about making something beautiful. It’s about changing the way we see “waste.” It’s about creating homes that hold meaning, pieces that spark conversation, and choices that feel a little more intentional. Every piece you bring home is a small part of that journey—from the ocean, through my hands, into your space.

"Before I started working with fishing nets, this was my world.
There is a very specific kind of patience that comes with hammering hundreds of tiny nails and weaving string through them, building up layers until a flat surface turns into something three-dimensional and alive. It’s meticulous, it’s grounding, and it taught me everything I know about texture and tension.
Even though my focus has shifted toward rescued nets and heavy-fiber art, my roots are still tied to this. I still take on custom nail and string pieces for those who want something deeply personal for their space.
If you have an idea, a vision, or a specific piece you’d love to bring to life, let’s chat. Send me a message and let’s make something together."
Who knew a trunk full of trash could look this good? I'm obsessed with how these woven frames turned out. Which color combo is your favorite?

What impresses me the most about making the fishing net art is the texture. It has nothing to do with sustainability, just an artist appreciating the texture and colour of the material she uses. Do you think the net is beautiful??
very discarded net has lived a life.
It’s been out at sea, pulled through tides, tangled in currents…
before being left behind on a shore where it no longer belongs.
To most, it’s just waste.
Forgotten. Useless. Something to step over.
But I see it differently.
I see threads of blue and green that once caused harm,
now holding the possibility of something new.
With time, patience, and intention,
those same tangled fibers are reworked, reshaped, reimagined.
Each knot becomes a decision.
Each color, a quiet celebration of renewal.
What once drifted without purpose
finds its way back — not as waste,
but as something worth keeping.
Transforming what’s discarded into something meaningful,
one thread at a time.
