Meha Shah

I am an ambitious and motivated individual fascinated by visual and sensory aesthetics. Creative visualisation is one of my most vital skills, I seek inspiration from everything around me and am passionate about designing spaces that are immersive and express a range of atmospheres that have the power to change emotions and bring people together. Designing, having no rules or boundaries, allows me to express my wildest thoughts in the form of physical spaces. Interning at several companies has given me great experience in the design industry and the workings of a successful business. Coming from a family of businessmen, I have excellent entrepreneurial knowledge and a drive to learn, make profit, and network within the design industry. I keep up with trends in the spatial and fashion design industry.
