My Design Journey and Philosophy
Design is more than finishes or furniture. It is a story of grit, chaos, and the quiet moments that make a house a home. This is the journey behind the spaces I create.
This is me, Purvi Shah. With over 18 years of experience, I've transformed more than 300 spaces. For me, design is about creating emotions and comfort in every corner, a journey I started with my own pocket money and a leap of faith.
A day in my life is a whirlwind of site visits, photoshoots, and design decisions. As a woman entrepreneur and a mom, I juggle it all, and I love every minute of bringing beautiful spaces to life.
This collage represents my journey, from being featured in magazines like Better Interiors to being recognized as a top woman entrepreneur. It’s a reminder of the passion and dedication that my team and I pour into every project.
Hearing feedback like this is what makes my work so fulfilling. It’s a joy to know that my dedication and the way I play with colors can inspire others and make them feel like family.
Designing this new studio for a dear friend was a beautiful collaboration. We embraced maximalism to create an interactive, gorgeous space that feels more like a home than a typical showroom.
I recently completed the Goldman Sachs 10K Women program at IIM Bangalore. It was a transformative experience, connecting with inspiring women entrepreneurs and unlearning to relearn. I'm grateful for the journey and ready for what's next.
This image captures my team at work, installing a backlit art piece. It represents the purpose and collaboration that goes into every project, turning a vision into a tangible reality.
Returning to my alma mater, Rachna Sansad, as a lecturer was a full-circle moment I'll always cherish. Sharing my knowledge and passion with the next generation of designers is incredibly rewarding.
About My Journey & Philosophy
Most people see the final reveal, but I live in the chaos of the construction site. If a finish is slightly off or a corner lacks the right energy, I order it out immediately. My team knows the standard because I personally oversee the dusty, noisy, real work that ensures your space feels right, not just looks good.
My path to design was not a straight line. It started with a sketchbook and a lot of stubborn hope at Rachna Sansad. Over the last 18 years, I have navigated site dust, skepticism, and the challenges of being a woman in a field often dominated by others. I believe every project begins with a bit of necessary noise.
Why I Focus on the Process I handle everything from industrial factories to premium boutiques. Whether I am setting up a diamond-cutting unit or a vintage-themed studio, my method remains the same. I manage the vendors, source the materials, and fight the battles on site so you do not have to.
- The Feel Factor: It is not enough for a layout to be functional. I integrate Vastu principles, color therapy, and spiritual touches to ensure the energy in your home or office supports your goals.
- Strict Quality Control: I am famous for my strict handovers. If the detailing is not perfect, it does not stay. I would rather redo a corner than leave a project feeling incomplete.
A Collaborative Approach I view my clients as partners. When you give me the freedom to interpret your vision, we create results that are genuinely yours. From automated conference rooms in Mumbai offices to meditation spaces in Pune factories, my work is about capturing your story in physical form.
