Her career is built on a diverse foundation that merges practical industrial exposure and academic research. Her vision is to build interior spaces not just as decorated rooms but as smart, cohesive and highly functional environments. She completed her architecture from BKPS College of architecture, Pune and masters in Industrial Design from Nagpur. The interdisciplinary approach helps to view every space as an integrated system where form, structure and product functionality work together seamlessly.
