Today we’d like to introduce you to Priyanshi Jain
Hi Priyanshi, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My journey began during my early university days where my passion for developing functional and aesthetic spaces took root. I was drawn to the challenges of converting existing spaces into something beautiful and useful. I attained experience by working with multiple renowned design firms and later founded my own design form a few years after attaining industrial experience. Starting my business was challenging, it required not just designing skills but also entrepreneurship, from acquiring clients and managing budgets to overseeing construction and ensuring the timely delivery of the projects.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
My journey had its own fair share of bumps and challenges. One of the initial struggles was creating a name for myself and my firm in the competitive field. Gaining the trust of clients and developing a portfolio required not only delivering excellent work but also networking and marketing. Another challenge was managing the financial aspects of running a company. As a designer, my strength lies in creativity and vision and not in business management. Learning how to balance budgets, price projects, and manage cash flow was a learning curve.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
As an architect and interior designer, my work revolves around developing spaces that are not just visually appealing but also functional and sustainable. My firm specializes both in commercial and residential projects, providing services that span from initial concept design to the final touches of interior decor. What sets us apart is our commitment to innovation and sustainability. We incorporate green building practices and materials into the designs whenever possible, focusing on decreasing environmental impact and improving the building’s efficiency and support.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Adaptive and multi-use spaces- The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for adaptable and flexible spaces. This trend will continue as the lines between home, leisure, and work become blurred. Homes will need to be designed with versatile areas that can easily transition between living spaces, gyms, and offices. Similarly, commercial buildings will be designed to be more flexible, accommodating changes in use with minimal disruption.
Cultural and historical sensitivity- There will be a strong focus on designs that portray and respect the cultural, historical, and social context of the locations. This involves not only preserving historical elements in the renovation projects but also designing new buildings that improve and complement their natural surroundings.
