Let me start from the beginning, I always had the passion for art since childhood. It took it's own sweet time to find its ways through interior design. The first time when my dad renovated our apartment was the first time I contributed in overall space planning and designing the furniture, when I was just in school. This was the time when 'Interior Designer' was not a common profession and was not encouraged.
After completing my Bachelor's in Engineering I decided to persue Master's in Interior design from Florence design Academy, Italy. I lived there for 2 years and it changed my approach towards life and how to appreciate art.
I came back to India and worked with different firms for 2 years. Then, I started my own firm and Design Treasure studio was born. I have built my entire team of contractors , labors throughout 3 years and worked on 10+ projects.
