Amee is an architect by formal training and an interior designer by choice. Her solid foundation as a student was built at the Institute of Environmental Design from where she procured her degree (besides the numerous medals & certificates of merit). Having completed college, Amee's education continued in the practical world of commercial architecture, in Mumbai, India as well as in Los Angeles, USA. She gained valuable experience in the rigours of modern day architecture till she found her true calling - in the world of DESIGN. Her talents were better showcased when she joined one of Mumbai's better known interior design firms. Amee considers this a fortuitous phase in her life and quickly found herself immersed in the world of high end interior design - dreaming up textures, materials, designs, colors, shapes, spaces and then having the thrill of watching it come true. Her parents fondly recall : "As a child Amee just loved playing with play dough & colours. Colours were all over our house. She was obsessed with making things look better". And she still is ! It is this passion for perfection tempered with formal architectural training & years of experience that make Amee designs so functional, so simple and yet so stunning. "Living Beautiful" is a term Amee often uses to describe her work. It is the unity of form and function resulting in a stunning new outcome that Amee seeks as she commences work on any new design project. The timelessness of the original Indian craft and its adaptation to contemporary living is what fascinates Amee. In fact, this has quickly become her signature style : strong native Indian elements, international in outlook and a harmonious mélange of the east and the west. The sheer richness of the Indian traditions, its crafts and its culture inspire Amee to giving her best with each effort. "There is so much one can do" she says. And until she's done it all Amee work goes on.
