What inspires your bold and daring aesthetic, and how do you balance timeless modernity with cultural influences in your designs?
I think that part of my design aesthetic comes from me traveling the world. At a very young age, I was lucky enough to travel all over the world, from India to London to Japan, to Hong Kong, and so all these worldly influences have influenced my design aesthetic. I decided from a very young age that I wanted to be in creative but also in business. And so I thought it was going to be fashion design, but it ended up being interiors. And I think that the bold aesthetic comes from all of the travel and me wanting to be more forward thinking.
How do you approach creating spaces that are both luxurious and functional, especially for high-profile clients?
First of all, we love our clients. We’re very blessed to have some of the best, most influential clients in the world. Every client has a completely different aesthetic. Just as each one of us is so individualistic, so are our clients. So, one of the main things that we do is we look at the architecture of the space and see if the architecture can stand alone without even one piece of furniture in it. Because, we are interior designers, we are not decorators. So you give us an empty space, and we create the personality for the space which is very reflective of the clients.
As an entrepreneur, how do you balance your creative vision with the business side of running a global design studio?
It’s hard. I’m actually an economics and finance double major and I come from an entrepreneurship family. I think business has been ingrained to me at a very young age, and being creative is something else I’m very interested in. So to be successful in any field you have to understand business. For anyone who wants to be in a creative field, you have to think with both the right and left side of your brain so that you can have a business that is not a charity business, and it’s actually a business where you’re growing.
