Shreya Kanoria: I've had a keen eye for design since childhood, and there was no other path for me. I chose to go to design school for higher studies, where I learned the technical aspect of interior design. After college, I had an amazing five years working under a reputed architect, where I got the opportunity to hone my skills further. I love the idea of problem-solving on site and marrying design with the more practical aspects of my work.
