Inspired interiors for Prosperity and Bliss
I formally studied architecture, civil engineering (M.S.) and also received my Interior Design degree in 2003. I incorporate the best of modern design from my years working at several large interior design firms with my passion for ancient Eastern design principles.
For several years I studied ancient design in South India. My teacher was the famous eleventh generation traditional architect Dr. Ganapati V. Sthapati, and today I sit on his board of trustees (Vaastu Vedic Research Foundation, Chennai, India).

In ancient times people connected deeply with nature. There was an understanding that we must be surrounded by living, breathing spaces governed by the same natural laws of existence as everything else in our living, breathing universe. People knew it then and are remembering it again today.
