Innovation in design to you is…
Innovation in Design means the ability to come up with quick responses to present day demands requiring inventions that add value to their work and life.
How has design changed your own home….
My home reflects the way my brain is wired towards the way I live… My life is seamless , between the corporate world and the creative world so is my house- it has minimum walls , space is continuous and there is light and ventilation all around. I keep my life uncluttered and with no barriers , it reflects in the way my house is designed by me.

Design is the way we think, its not about a house or a handbag! So whether its 5 years or a 100 hundred it depends upon who is building it for whom.
