I've spent the last eight months designing my parents' home in Bangalore in collaboration with Plavi Design Studio. A boutique interior design studio recognized in the Architectural Digest Pro Directory 2026 and as a runner-up at WADE ASIA (Women in Architecture, Design and Engineering) 2025.
I partnered with Plavita Borah and her team, from concept direction and spatial planning to material selection and bespoke furniture, absorbing the language of architectural design along the way.
With my background in user experience and product design, this project extended that practice into a physical environment. The medium changed, but the work didn't: stakeholders, constraints, and decisions made under ambiguity. The skills remain the same.
One of the most fulfilling design projects I've worked on, and the most challenging, because as it turns out, my parents are not easy stakeholders to please.
