1. When did you start designing ?
Informally I used to design my dresses / suits on my own even as a kid & fortunately had a very talented mother who helped me create whatever I used to visualize…Formally, NID trained me as designer and 1992 is when I started my career as a designer. Till 1997 I worked in export houses which got me tuned to shop floor; production; costing & all those important departments which help convert your creative ideas into practical, functional reality. In January 1997 I got pulled into starting my own Vaishali Design Studio where we developed designs for primarily home furnishing clients in domestic & international market. But it was only in 2011 it dawned on me to start my own brand V Living.

Well that was what I was professionally qualified to do & somehow fashion did not attract me much.
3. Did you ever dream or think of being something else other than a designer?
Yes ! if not a designer than I would have pursued singing.
4. What is your favourite colour or theme?
I think every concept or theme has so much to explore; you just need to imbibe it. Holding a particular theme or colour can be limiting to your creativity.

9. What do you consider the biggest challenge you face today related to your work or design in general?
Need to learn the ropes of marketing & PR which are important aspects of brand development.
10. Is there any design of yours you consider your best? Which one is it and why?
Difficult to say so because a design may feel very good for the time being, but then one moves on to do the next thing with the same passion and then the next & the next……
11. What is your vision for your work and design?
For my work I just wish to do good work & be respected for it. I also have a wish & vision to be able to create a platform where DESIGNERS for HOME furnishings & décor are as well recognized as designers of fashion industry & have their own unique place.
