About me
I’m Sheefalika, a material-driven designer with over a decade of experience across textiles, architectural surfaces, and spatial design.
I apply a structured process of research, design development, and refinement to translate material potential into buildable design outcomes.
With endless choices on the table, I guide material decisions across stakeholders - aligning vision, performance, timelines, and budgets. I build clear CMF strategies and process frameworks that align aesthetics, function, brand positioning, and execution.
My work is shaped by traditional practices of making. I collaborate with craftspeople to translate craft knowledge into contemporary, responsible design outcomes.
Key Highlights
- Led and delivered bespoke architectural flooring projects up to 20,000 sq. m across airports, hospitality, museums, and commercial spaces across India, including Mumbai T2 and Kolkata Airport.
- Designed textiles for export to brands such as Pierre Frey and award-winning Indian brands including Jaipur Rugs and Vriksh Design.
