Principal Interior Designer – Tina Ramchandani
Background
Tina Ramchandani is an interior designer known for creating spaces that balance restraint with emotional depth. Her journey into design began without a clear trajectory. After attending a state college and feeling uncertain about her direction, she experienced a defining moment inside a hotel that left a lasting impression. The atmosphere, layers, and feeling of that environment clarified her desire to pursue interior design.
Her early professional experience included working at established firms, where she developed discipline and exposure to large scale projects. Feeling she had reached a ceiling in growth, she chose to start her own studio. The decision was driven by instinct rather than strategy, without a formal business plan in place. Early residential commissions provided momentum and affirmed that the leap had been worthwhile.
Approach
Tina defines her work as contemporary, soulful minimalism. The aesthetic is grounded in simplicity but layered with meaning. She focuses on creating homes where clients are surrounded by pieces that matter, often incorporating artisan crafted elements with character and narrative.
Travel informs much of her perspective. Exposure to different cities, markets, and landscapes shapes her understanding of color, texture, and composition. Rather than drawing inspiration from digital trends, she relies on direct experience and observation.
Running a studio requires flexibility. Tina prioritizes achievable daily goals and leans on a trusted team and long term collaborators to support execution. Strong vendor relationships, particularly with craftspeople who contribute custom pieces, ensure that projects maintain consistency and quality.
Beyond design
Outside of project work, travel remains both inspiration and restoration. Stepping away from routine allows for creative reset and reflection. Music, fashion, and artisan markets influence her evolving creative mood, reinforcing an approach that is both disciplined and intuitive.
Through instinct, resilience, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty, Tina has built a practice rooted in clarity, restraint, and soul.
