Hey, I'm Tanvi

1

I am a Retail & Exhibition designer, currently based out of Pune, India.

​

Passionate about creating spaces and the experiences they give us, I strongly believe in 'designing impactful, human-centric spaces, that leave a mark on people and hold meaningful to them'. 

 

Driven by the belief in the power of design to shape experiences, bringing purpose and meaning to every detail. With a focus on understanding the needs and behaviors of the people who interact with my work, I strive to craft environments that are functional, inspiring, and memorable. Each project is an opportunity to connect people with brands and ideas in meaningful ways, ensuring that design serves both form and function.

"Working with Tanvi was a rare experience, the most qualities of her, that she's fully dedicated to her tasks, growth, the team and I was very comfortable as she was at my support always. She developed within a short period of time to be one of the two most trusted co-workers to lead some of the projects and to give support to the team.
I trusted her a lot, in a way I chose her to be one of my two successors, as she has a good sense of people, good organising skills and time management.
I trust that she will be a great add to any company in a senior or managerial position because in addition to her people caring quality, she has a good vision and recognition of the business needs.
Tanvi is a valued addition to any manager, team and organisation. I would like to work with her another time and see her growth."
