Arjav believes that design has no boundaries.

Design is generated out of ideas that have no limits. Creativity is fluid and inspiration from one area of your life can drive success in the other.

“My life is a testament to the struggles I encountered while finding myself, and it brings me immense pleasure to help people around me do the same.”
Fun Fact
Fashion Forward

While Arjav never pursued a career in fashion, the inspiration he derived from designing a piece of clothing shapes the way he approaches the design of physical spaces. When there’s leftover fabric or material from projects, he makes clothing for himself out of these fabrics to channel his creativity into the work he does.

“As a leader I strongly believe in promoting our values and the promise of what we have to offer. As a designer, I ensure that our designs satisfy the needs and wants of our clients. But as a creative, when challenged, I am unafraid to argue for what serves the design beyond all else.” – Arjav Shah
