About Sejal
Hi,
I grew up in a home where art and cultural expression were a language that we spoke.
Since I was three, my mother, an artist herself, would take me along to Mumbai’s finest art galleries and teach me how to appreciate color, form, shape and most importantly, the story behind every work of art that we saw. Education and cultural exposure meant a lot to both of my parents. My mother was a double-graduate, an artist and an entrepreneur.
My father came from a long lineage of entrepreneurs, musicians and high achievers in every field. Over the course of his life and career, he received three lifetime achievement awards.
About Sejal
Parallel to my exposure to art & design
My parents also encouraged me to immerse myself in music, dance, and sport. I say ‘immerse’ because when I started to do something, it was never a dabble. I’ve always been a perfectionist and an achiever.
Excellence was a part of the way we lived and did everything we did. When I studied music, I studied it with the best classical musicians and learned the art, science, and discipline of music. When I played table tennis, I played it for 17 years and went on to represent India internationally, winning 138 national and international medals.
After having experienced such a rich, full life, I knew that any work that I choose to do needed to be all those things: Larger than life, artistic, meaningful, and something I could immerse myself into completely.
Sports career
My Journey
I retired from my table tennis career in 1995. I didn’t want to grow old in the sport, and decided the time for ripe for a change. But what was next?
What comes after dedicating 17 years of your life to a sport which I played for India internationally winning 138 national and international medals? In my search for that answer, I attended a seminar one day that was being hosted by a business coach.
In one of our conversations as I was exploring my options, my coach asked me a question: ‘What is it that you love the most?’ I said ‘Design’.
New Journey
‘Design What?’ asked Rajesh
A year later, I married my business coach.
My first coach is my father who is my guiding force. When I married Rajesh, it was like my father recruited Rajesh to take over.
I stepped into wife-life and my design career around the same time.
My home design career began with floral art and design. I had studied the Japanese floral art of Ikebana as a young girl. I went on to get certified by the Ohara School of Ikebana, as well as in Bonsai by the Indo-Japanese Association.

HOW WE WORK
My journey with my clients is an intimate one
I get to know my clients and their families, their stories, their tastes, their day-to-day lives, and blend all those unique, personal perspectives into a beautiful yet functional space for them to live and thrive.
I don’t have a signature style. I aim instead to find your signature, to make your home truly yours. That oneness that you feel with your living space, inside and out, once we are finished – that is the true signature of my work.
