MY BACKGROUND
Moving to a new country can be a challenging yet rewarding experience for anyone, and I am no exception to that. When one understands and accepts the blessing that comes from such an experience, they are left with a kind of personal diversity, and interpersonal relatability that can be their greatest asset - and that has been my story.
Having been born in India, and living the first 12 years of my life there, I am firmly grounded in my cultural roots. The India within me inspires my love for colors and not fear them, and unique ideas that the west may not have seen. Leaving your world at such a young age and having to reshape everything you once knew builds resilience, grit, and a resultant confidence that is difficult to shake - and that has been the blessing of the America in me.
While the first round of rediscovering myself came as an accident and had nothing to do with personal action, every next round hence has been a deliberate decision to be more marinated in this superpower. Moving to NYC to attend my dream school, studying abroad in Italy, then India again for a few months has all been a challenging experience for the rather introverted me, but also an infinitely rewarding experience for the side of me that knows how conducive to growth it can be to live outside your comfort zone.
Like I said, this superpower of having these different worlds within me has been my greatest asset, and has left me with an insatiable hunger to see as much as possible of what the world has to offer.
WHY INTERIOR DESIGN?
Because of personal experiences, I understood at age 13 that spaces have energies. By simply changing the space around you, you can change the way you feel. The way one feels impacts every part of your life. Whether that is how you behave, what you do or don’t do, your productivity, and mood.
I have seen the impact of interiors first hand. Every little thing- no matter how big or small- can make a difference in the way people interact with that space and the sudden pleasure they feel to be in that space.
I saw the power and impact interiors have on people in my household , therefore wanted to do the same for others. It brings me great pleasure to change people’s lives through something I enjoy so much and hold great passion for.
