About Residential Interior Design
My Design Philosophy
I believe your home should say something real about you. My style isn’t about copying the latest trend - I want to make spaces that show off your journey. Got heirlooms, trophies, or quirky art? I’ll find a way to make them the heart of your home.
How I Work
I mix old and new. Love clean lines but also the warmth of Indian vintage decor? I’ll blend both. If you’ve got furniture with history, I enjoy giving it a second life - sustainable furniture makeover is my jam. We can play with color too, sometimes with quiet tones and sometimes with bold splashes, like a red mandir right in your living room.
The Human Touch
If you ask me, no home is complete without something hand-made. I travel all over - Jodhpur to London - hunting for unique pieces and working with local karigars (craftsmen). You’ll find touches like hand-painted wall art, Pichwai paintings, bone inlay, and jaali screens in my designs.
What We Can Do Together
I work on full apartment or bungalow makeovers, but I also love transforming single rooms. Bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, libraries, dens, even sacred spaces like home temples – I aim for modern traditional fusion design that still feels personal.
Where I’m Based
Mostly, I work out of Mumbai and Hyderabad. Sometimes, I take on projects abroad, like in Dubai. No matter where, I want your home to feel like yours.

My Story
Eight years on the AD 100 list, still feels unreal sometimes. I kicked off this design journey 15+ years ago, always chasing stories in spaces. Travel’s my muse, like those wild hydrangeas in Azores, or old walls in Spain, they teach me harmony. Cooking keeps me sane - it’s just like design, mixing, balancing, tasting. Diwali? Pure joy, not just for the show but for the real laughs and memories. That’s what I want my work to give people.
My Work
All-in-one design services - I handle everything - interior architecture, home and office design, heritage renovation, and even custom vanity vans.
Spaces with stories - Design for me is about keeping the soul alive, mixing old charm with modern life, making rooms that truly belong to you.
Handcrafted interior details - I love adding handmade touches - maybe a mural from my travels, or working with karigars (artisans) for real emotion.
Design by feeling - We start with honest chats, not moodboards. I listen, then create spaces that feel right for you.
Homes with emotion - If you want a place that’s more than pretty, full of stories and personality, I’m your person.
