Tanvi’s educational and work experiences complement her unique design sensibilities. Her traditional Indian heritage and modern American upbringing have given her a balanced sense of both traditionalism and modernism, creating an artfully blended design sensibility. Tanvi lives by one quote- “A diamond is a piece of coal that handled stress well.” The simple yet profound meaning of this quote drives her on a daily basis to produce exemplary pieces of art.
