The Journey: Meet Purvi Shah Interior Designer
Design is more than just aesthetic choices, it is a personal journey. Get to know the grit, passion, and 18 years of experience behind every space I create.
This is me in my element, surrounded by fabric samples, color palettes, and design plans. With over 18 years of experience, I've had the privilege of transforming more than 300 spaces, but my passion for creating comfort and emotion in every corner remains the same.
Hearing feedback like this is what makes all the hard work worthwhile. This client shares her experience of visiting my sites and seeing how I play with colors. It's a joy to know that my dedication inspires others and brings their vision to life beautifully.
This collage is a snapshot of my journey as an entrepreneur, which started when I was just 19. It includes features in publications, moments from my teaching career at Rachna Sansad, and recognition as a top woman entrepreneur. It’s a reminder of how far passion and dedication can take you.
Here I am speaking at an event, sharing my story and my passion for design. For me, design is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating emotions and memories. Every project is a personal journey, crafted with love, function, and a touch of magic.
I believe in lifelong learning. This photo captures a proud moment receiving my certificate from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women program at IIM Bangalore. It was a transformative experience that connected me with inspiring women entrepreneurs and reinforced my drive to keep building and growing.
So much of my journey is about the people I share it with. This is a candid moment with my mother, who has been a constant source of support. Balancing the many hats I wear as a mother, leader, and designer has been an adventure, and her belief in me has been my anchor.
About The Journey: Meet Purvi
My design process is rarely about sitting in a clean office, it is raw, hands-on, and often noisy because I believe the best spaces are built on-site. If a material, finish, or detail doesn't meet my standard, it gets replaced immediately. I am not just designing a layout, I am ensuring the energy and quality of your space are exactly what you need.
From Sketchbook to 300+ Spaces
My journey began when I was 19, armed only with a sketchbook and a lot of stubborn hope. I didn't enter this field to follow trends, I entered it to create. Over the past 18 years, I have grown from a student at Rachna Sansad to a lecturer, and finally, to the founder of a studio that has transformed over 300 projects across Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi.
The Reality of Construction
When you see the final, polished photos of my work, you are seeing the result of a lot of dust, hustle, and intense collaboration. I don't hide the gritty side of design. My worksites are noisy, busy, and sometimes chaotic, because that is where the magic happens. Whether I am balancing my role as a mother, a leader on-site, or a carpenter solving a layout issue, I am fully present.
Why Trust is the Foundation
My best work happens when a client trusts me enough to give me a free hand. I don't just pick furniture, I look at the energy of the room, the lighting, and how you will actually feel when you walk in.
I am known for being strict. If the finishing on a wall or a bar counter is even slightly off, I will ask for it to be removed. It is not about being difficult, it is about being honest. You are trusting me with your home or your business, and I take that responsibility seriously. Let’s talk about your project and see how we can build something that feels exactly like you.
