Piyusha, aged 30-Design consultant-interiors, architecture & landscape, is a firm believer in these words.
Her love for the built form sparked during visits to design studios back home, in India. The more she learnt, the more intrigued she was in her early school years.

As her role grew & she got involved in handing projects individually, conversing with clients, understanding efficient use of resources, she self-learnt various software tools & taught them to the team to boost productivity at the workplace-gaining the teams respect & also clients trust for timely delivery of projects. While doing so she attempted to keep the design crux intact while handling complex projects as efficiently as possible.For this, she also received immense appreciation from the management & her clients.

DESIGN IDEOLOGY
Piyusha enjoys collaborative working to achieve creative results & loves solving puzzles that construction projects are all about.She brings to the table sound technical knowledge,innovation in design & good overall understanding of the processes & resources. Her project stories generally start with a strong concept & multi-level thought process involving solutions that create something meaningful-functionally & aesthetically. Each detail is then a contribution to making the final product a manifestation of the enhanced original idea. She believes, the design process although complex needs to be first simplified in the mind &then the story unravels itself flawlessly.
It does not matter if the subject that needs to be designed is a building,land,furniture or an accessory, the aspect of storytelling is something that will always excite & motivate her to keep doing better.
