Mayuri Bhakay

Director
Interior Design + Space Planning

Graduated from FIT, New York, with a degree in interior design, Mayuri is a hands on task master with an understanding of spaces and the process of building one in great detail.

Her process of reading a space begins at the very first stage when she sees the site and ideates on the look and feel to go with it. She too believes in the power of pen and a paper to start a design, just like her father. Sketching every detail before incorporating it on site has been her practice ever since.

Mayuri has always stood for a refined sense of detailing and design that embodies a natural penchant for timeless chic. Strong visualization interjected with cutting edge design is what creates her individuality. A mélange of art with technicality can be seen in her execution.
