Published Design Stories & Media Features
I believe design is a conversation, not just a result. It is a true honor when these dialogues are captured by publications that care deeply about the soul of a space.
I am beyond thrilled to be featured in the prestigious AD100 list by Architectural Digest India. This is a huge honor, and I dedicate it to my amazing team and visionary clients who make it all possible.
It was a pleasure to be on the cover of Design Essentia magazine, featuring our project in Dhaka. This home was a special journey, and I'm so grateful to have its story shared.

About Press & Features
Seeing a project I poured my heart into featured in publications like Architectural Digest feels less like a trophy and more like a shared understanding. When writers take the time to photograph the way light hits a specific wall or how an heirloom textile anchors a room, they are validating that design is about more than just filling a floor plan.
Being included in the AD100 list or discussed in Design Essentia is a moment of gratitude for me. These features are not about the vanity of press, but about the substance of the work. When we documented the residence in Dhaka, the goal was not to create a showpiece for a magazine. We wanted to reflect the cultural roots of the homeowners, Imtiaz and Taslima, through a contemporary lens. The coverage captures the nuances we worked so hard to achieve, from the sourcing of furniture that bridges global influences with local artistry, to the layering of textures that makes a house feel like a sanctuary.
Whether it is an article about my shift from advertising to interior design in Open Acres or a spotlight on collaborations with craftspeople, each piece of writing preserves the intention behind our process. It is about the 'why' as much as the 'what'. If you are looking for design that prioritizes your personal history over a standard look, these articles offer a window into how we approach that. We explore how to mix heritage floors with modern furniture, and why a bathroom should lift your mood rather than just serve a function. These publications are a permanent record of the conversations we have with light, shadow, and home.
