As the Founder of Design Unfiltered and an Architectural Journalist, I have always been drawn to the stories behind design – the ideas, processes, and people that shape the built environment. Over the years, my work has focused on documenting and understanding architecture beyond metropolitan narratives, especially the creative voices emerging from India’s tier-2 and tier-3 cities.

Design Unfiltered was born from that intention – to create a platform where architects and designers could share their journeys, experiments, and ideas openly. Through conferences, conversations, and curated experiences, we aim to highlight design in its most honest form and encourage meaningful dialogue within the architectural community.

For me, Design Unfiltered is more than an event platform. It is a growing space for storytelling, learning, and connection – where regional voices, material narratives, and diverse perspectives come together to shape a richer design conversation across India.
