What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create refined, purpose-driven furniture, home décor, and spaces that balance aesthetics, functionality, material understanding, and sensitivity to emotional and sensory needs.

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.
