Design Journey

From a Decade-Long Break to Designing Dream Spaces: My Journey i​n Luxury Interior Design

Luxury interior design isn’t just about creating beautiful spaces—it’s about weaving stories, emotions, and functionality into every corner. My journey in this industry has been anything but conventional, filled with challenges, growth, and a relentless passion for design. From stepping away from my career for a decade to designing for Bollywood’s elite, here’s how IB DEZIGN STUDIO came to life  

The Beginning: A Passion for Design

My journey started at Kiran Gala & Associates, where I joined as an intern. Those early years were instrumental in shaping my design sensibilities, teaching me the intricacies of detailing, space planning, and luxury aesthetics. 

However, life took an unexpected turn. Getting married at a young age into a conservative family meant stepping away from my career. It was a difficult decision, but deep down, I knew my love for design would never fade.

A Decade-Long Pause & A Bold Comeback

For 10 years, I put my dreams on hold. But I never stopped observing, learning, and imagining spaces in my mind. When the opportunity arose to return, I seized it with both hands.

I restarted my career at Evolution Studio, with  collaboration with Ar. Ritesh Deshmukh and Ar. Naved Patel. My first project back was nothing short of extraordinary—assisting as a Senior Designer on Karan Johar’s 10,000 sqft penthouse. 

Stepping into the world of high-end luxury interiors after a decade-long break was intimidating, but my passion and attention to detail helped me quickly find my rhythm.  

Designing for Bollywood’s Elite & High-Profile Clients

Working on Karan Johar’s penthouse opened doors to designing for some of the most prestigious names in the industry. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working on luxury residential and commercial projects for:  

  Mr Karan Johar (Director-producer) 

Mr Vashu Bhagnani (Director-producer) 

Mr Sohai​​l Khan (Actor-Director-producer) 

Prime Focus (3d animation-Oscar Award Wining) 

Mr Hussain Kuwajerwala (Actor) 

Sugee Developers 

Richa Realtors  

Each project came with its own unique challenges and expectations. Understanding luxury wasn’t just about expensive materials—it was about creating spaces that felt exclusive, elegant, and deeply personal.

The Birth of IB DEZIGN STUDIO

With years of experience working on high-end projects, I knew it was time to create something of my own. I launched IB DEZIGN STUDIO with a vision to design spaces that are not only luxurious but also meaningful.

At IB DEZIGN STUDIO, we specialize in:

✨ Luxury Residential Interiors – Elegant, timeless homes tailored to your lifestyle.

Looking Ahead: Designing the Future of Luxury Spaces

My journey from a 10-year career break to working with Bollywood celebrities and now running my own luxury interior design studio has been nothing short of incredible. But this is just the beginning. The world of luxury interiors is evolving, and IB DEZIGN STUDIO is here to set new standards in design, one dream space at a time.
