MY JOURNEY

I HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN design ever since I was a child. However, it was while I was in college at Parsons School of Design, New York, that I developed a passion for woodworking. The joyful experience of literally creating something out of a block of wood convinced me that this is the field I would like to get into at some point in my life. Once I returned to India I started my own sustainable venture and named it Differniture, which focused on crafting furniture out of wood and other reclaimed materials.
