Making sense of the world
through design
Through buildings, objects, travel, art, craftsmanship and culture, I'm constantly collecting ideas about how people live, gather and create meaning. This is where I document them.
Hi, I am Rishika
I’m a Bangalore-based architect and creative lead working across architecture, interiors, storytelling and experiential design. Architecture is how I make sense of the world.
Over the years, that has led me far beyond buildings. Into interiors, furniture, travel, art, craft, culture and the many ways people shape the spaces around them. Much of my work takes shape through Kyrah Design Studio, while other interests find their way into writing, events, collaborations and the occasional side project. This website is a collection of projects, places and ideas that continue to inform how I think, design and create.
Areas of Practice
Built Environments
Comprehensive architectural and interior frameworks developed from deep site context, artisanal heritage, and spatial clarity.
Furniture & Product Design
Intuitively crafted physical items engineered to complement the physical behaviors, textures, and daily spatial rituals of the end user.
Experience Curation
Designing premium, cross-disciplinary events that weave together layout design, material culture, food, music, and raw community conversations.
