Aditi,
Consultant Researcher
Curious mind. Intentional maker. Forever in love with color, context, and community.
With a foundation in architecture and a deep love for storytelling through form and color, I work at the intersection of design, research, and art. My practice is rooted in human-centric thinking — whether it’s shaping inclusive spatial experiences, uncovering the psychology of color, or translating raw emotion into abstract compositions.
For me, design is more than problem-solving; it is about provoking joy, belonging, and reflection.
I believe spaces and stories have the power to heal, connect, and inspire. My work is my way of weaving them together.
