The voices shaping unfiltered design conversations
Design Unfiltered is led by a passionate team of thinkers, curators, and changemakers committed to amplifying authentic design voices from India’s tier-2 and tier-3 cities. United by a belief in honesty, inclusivity, and regional excellence, our leadership works to create platforms where ideas are raw, conversations are meaningful, and design stays true to its roots.
With a soft corner for design and the conversations around it, Komal leads community engagement for the firm. How? Through curating and facilitating conversations that bring together architects, designers, students, artisans and all others whose lives revolve around architecture and design.
Our Team Philosophy
Design Unfiltered exists to celebrate honesty in design — the ideas, processes, and people that often go unseen. Through collaboration and conversation, we aim to build a more inclusive and grounded design community across India.
