Hey There!
" I've studied and practiced Interior Design for over 8 years now and have worked on 21 projects with a vast range of design exploration, various client mindsets, budget to luxury projects, and it has been an incredible journey of learning where I have not just explored the industry but have also understood the happiness I feel when I see my clients face filled with satisfaction once we handover the project, those are the moments I thrive and work for to capture them in my heart forever.

My Journey
I've been inclined towards art ever since I was in school, "I remember something from school, I secretly did my sketching and craft work under the desk in between serious Math's and Social lecture. I never messed with science because it's a very fascinating concept and my science teacher was pretty intimidating, though. my teachers always complained that my passion for art is of no use" well, now I know.
"Art is nothing but a mind set free"
"The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance of things, but their inner significance"
I started my journey as an Interior designer in 2014 after I convinced my father that I couldn't do anything that didn't deal with art. Graduated with a degree in design, yet confused about how to go with it.
In 2019, I got an opportunity to work on a start-up office design which was a turning point in my career, first is always the best. This was the first project I got to execute as well. Until then, I only worked on design projects. I cannot doubt that this was a project I had the maximum learning in my career as this was when I worked very closely with a client for the first time. I'm grateful that they as have been extremely supportive when we made mistakes as well, also vendors and service providers. Trust me, it was not easy to understand their work language, but I eventually did, and ever since, there has been no looking back.
In the process of learning the practical design industry, I have learned business skills and have explored and understood various methods and practices a business owner has to imbibe in accordance to make it a successful brand, including brand building, sales, marketing, financial management, vendor management, client handling, team building, etc., and I believe that there is a lot more to discover and that's the driving force for my dedication and passion towards design.
Now, with the knowledge and skills I've developed over the years, I'm working towards making the lives of my clients beautiful on the inside out, which gives me the joy of satisfaction because? Why not.
