@medhyasharma
I design thoughtful furniture and home décor that balance emotional needs, materials, and function.
What I'm looking for
I've designed furniture and home décor across Essentia, Krea World, Vikram Goyal Studio/Viya, and Pinch of Pretty by Goel Exports, translating concepts into functional, material-led products and interiors.
At Essentia, I supported the Tier and Maze Collections through concept generation, form exploration, product refinement, technical layouts, furniture placement, rendered floor plans, and presentation materials.
My work includes a therapeutic kids’ décor collection for children with ADHD and anxiety, using soothing colours, tactile materials, and functional forms to create calming sensory-friendly spaces. I also designed “Baithak,” a sustainable badminton-court seating system using upcycled metal and wood.
I'm curious about how furniture can be crafted with intention, shaped by stories, and designed to make spaces feel alive. I bring hands-on prototyping, material research, and clear communication to create refined designs that respond to genuine human needs.
