About

Sandeep Lathwal is the Co-Founder of Design Unfiltered, a national platform dedicated to documenting and amplifying the work of architects and designers from India’s tier-2 and tier-3 cities. With extensive experience across 27+ states and 600+ cities, he has worked closely with design professionals, institutions, and industry stakeholders across the country.

Driven by a belief that some of India’s most honest and contextual design work emerges beyond metropolitan centers, Sandeep focuses on building collaborative ecosystems that value authenticity, regional voices, and long-term impact. Through Design Unfiltered, he continues to shape inclusive design conversations rooted in community, process, and purpose.

Vision Ahead

“Design Unfiltered is not about spotlighting individuals – it’s about building a collective narrative. One that recognizes the depth of work happening across India and gives it the visibility, respect, and dialogue it deserves.”
