Prime Insights: Can you share the story behind the inception of your interior design firm?
“Though I began my journey as an architect, I soon discovered that interior design is the soul of a structure—a powerful medium to turn dreams into lived experiences. The joy of transforming lives through design has always been my greatest motivation. Over time, I noticed how many interiors, often executed by contractors, lacked depth, empathy, and personal connection. I believed that design should be soulful—one that respects a client’s vision, time, and investment. That belief gave birth to our firm, which is rooted in blending aesthetics with purpose, creating homes that are not just visually gorgeous but also functionally luxurious.
Prime Insights: What inspired you to start your journey in the interior design industry?
The joy of watching empty walls, bloom into meaningful spaces and watching clients’ happiness when they witness their dreams as living experiences is a high that never fades. That emotional connection, that transformation, inspired me to build a career rooted in impact.
Prime Insights: What were the initial challenges faced by your business, and how did you overcome them?
I focused on design over business, believing passion was enough. But sustainability needed structure. I learned that clarity in communication, valuing our worth, and balancing art with commerce are what create both happy clients and a thriving studio.
Prime Insights: How does your brand define “creativity” and “innovation” in interior design?
Creativity begins with listening—every client, every space is a new muse. Innovation lies in turning challenges into charm, using materials in fresh contexts, and weaving stories into structure. For us, it’s not just design—it’s soulful problem-solving.
Prime Insights: What are the key services and design solutions your firm provide to clients?
We provide holistic design—from site analysis to turnkey execution. Our services include layouts, concept designs, 3D visuals, cost planning, project management, and styling. Every detail is curated to create not just a space, but an experience.
Prime Insights: How do you stay inspired and bring fresh ideas to your projects in a competitive market?
Every client’s story is my inspiration. Their uniqueness sets the tone. I draw from nature, design fundamentals, and emotional context—never trends. When each design is born from purpose and personality, competition becomes irrelevant. Authenticity keeps us timeless.
Prime Insights: Can you describe a project that best showcases your creative approach to design?
In a recent project, we silently celebrated the Ramayana through textures, colors, and craft. From fabric-clad wardrobes to symbolic detailing, every element showed the client’s soul. Without literal storytelling, we built a space that felt sacred—deep, personal, and poetic.
Prime Insights: What role does technology play in enhancing your design process and client experience?
We embrace technology as a tool, not a crutch. From AI-aided planning to project tracking software, we give clarity, speed, and precision. It helps us present immersive designs, manage timelines, and provide a better, smarter client journey—without losing our human touch.
Prime Insights: How do you customize your designs to show the unique personality and needs of each client?
We listen deeply. Even a client’s favorite color becomes a design clue. We blend their essence with timeless design rules—balance, rhythm, and restraint—crafting spaces that show their soul and yet remain harmonious, thoughtful, and visually enriching across time.
Prime Insights: What strategies have you used to build strong client relationships and get repeat business?
Trust is our foundation. Clear communication, accountability, and heartfelt service have led to loyal clients and referrals. Even amidst setbacks, we stay honest, responsive, and responsible—earning not just respect, but long-term relationships across families and generations.
Prime Insights: How do you measure the impact of your designs on client satisfaction and lifestyle?
Client delight is our benchmark. When they express their overjoy with personalized gifts, team lunches, and heartfelt testimonials and return years later with new projects, we know we’ve made more than just designs.
Prime Insights: What new design trends have you introduced recently?
We’re driven by curiosity and craft. We’ve made ceilings without typical gypsum sheets, and experimented concealed lighting for visual comfort. We worked around materials like leather, embroidered fabric, and 3D elements as atypical finishes for wardrobes. Even window treatments changed— Our artistic sliding panels double as décor and curtain substitutes, redefining routine.
Prime Insights: What are your future goals for your firm in terms of creativity and market influence?
We stay rooted in timeless design ethics as we redefine our creative boundaries. Beyond this, we feel a sense of responsibility while we continue to craft spaces that reflect each client’s soul to educate.
Many unknowingly invest in contractor-suggested products or media-influenced material without realizing that design is what truly transforms a house into a home. We hope to gently guide and empower people to make soulful, smart, and lasting choices—where beauty meets meaning, and every corner feels like them. Design, when done with heart, can save more than it spends.
We dream of a world where every home reflects its people, mindful usage of materials, and soulful play of individual ‘needs—not a mere contractor’s catalog.
Prime Insights: What advice would you give to emerging interior designers aiming to make a difference in the industry?
Design with empathy. Treat each home like your own, and each detail like it holds meaning. Honour the client’s story, nurture every space with knowledge and care, and let your heart guide your hand. The business will follow soulful service.
