Having grown up around strong female role models (mother and grandmother) that are both practicing Architects and Designers even today, has been an important part of this journey. I spent many years after school accompanying my mother on her job sites and studio.
In hindsight, my father's work (pilot) took us all over the world as a child (which I grumbled about at the time), allowed me to recognize and adapt to different perspectives and cultures as needed and often.This often meant a new language or way of life. With all this travel, my indian-ness is still deeply rooted in my being.
Unconsciously or consciously, it has provided a foundation for my values, design thinking and aesthetic (love of natural materials). Through these early experiences and exposure, I have developed a strong intuitive sense which informs the design direction for my clients and their strong cultural backgrounds.

Our work is a response to how we see our clients, the architecture of the space and the experience we wish to create for them. Warm Minimalism is an integral part of our design thinking and provides a framework for all our projects. We believe that this framework allows the people who inhabit the spaces we design, to grow into them over time while providing them warmth and comfort.

ID8 Design and Sashya in particular were a pleasure to work with on our recent design and renovation project. Her talent really shined when it came to taking an old, warehouse style brick and beam space and creating a slick, clean, modern makeover.
Her attention to detail, work ethic and ability to stay within budget were appreciated. She also has a gift of working with people to keep the project on track when problems arise.
After interviewing several other designers, we were thrilled that we decided on her.

It has been a pleasure working with Sashya and her wonderful team at ID8.
Sashya worked with us as we designed the spaces in our new home including selection of stones for fireplaces, light fixtures, bathroom/kitchen fixtures, and tiles and carpets.
She understood our preferences very quickly and proposed ideas that made the home a consistent yet creative execution of our vision. She helped us select wall papers that matched our idea of a modern but classical home, and one that reminded us of our upbringing. She subsequently helped us furnish most of the rooms beautifully, keeping our aesthetics

Our high-rise apartment building partnered with iD8 Design Studio to do a design and renovation of our common area spaces. Not only were the results beautiful, but working with Sashya and her team were a joy. I really felt like we were partners throughout the whole project -- open lines of communication, investment in the quality of outcomes, and help with bidding out to manufacturers and vendors were all seamless. They helped do a lot of the follow up and communication as the physical work was being conducted as well and it all resulted in a great design, quality work, and happy residents. I can

We initially hired ID8 to help us trouble shoot an awkward transition area that needed to look integrated and function as a small mudroom. It was definitely a tricky task, and not only did Sashya come up with a really creative solution but a stunning one, as well. We were so pleased with how it turned out that we then hired her to help us design our breakfast nook and sitting area. It turned out beautifully and we've received many compliments. (The space ended up being featured in a local and national design publication.) Sashya has that special ability to work with her client's aesthetic while

Sashya and her team worked with us on 2 separate renovations - one of our kitchen and dining room and another of our living room and entry way. We loved her creative input, commitment to a cohesive vision and oversight of the construction team. I highly recommend ID8 and would give 10 stars if I could.

It was a pleasure working with Sashya! As a developer, I’ve worked with Sashya over the years on two different custom home projects and one spec home ranging in size from 2,300sf to 9,600sf, including ultimately our very own home. For all three projects she employed a unique palette of materials and finishes. On the first project, she was employed by my client/buyer and since we worked well together implementing customization of that home, I engaged her on my next spec home project. I sought out her design for her clean, contemporary aesthetic and innovative ideas which were very important for

Sashya and her team at ID8 Studio have been so great to work with over the last 2 years on a complete renovation/remodel of our 40 year old home. It has been an adventure in keeping true to the character of our family home yet bringing it up to date with a clean, airy mood of light and color. We are so happy with the results!

Worked with ID8 on the renovation of our master bathroom. Very pleased with the results! Very creative with design and the options proposed for tiles, vanity and other materials. Had an overall good read on our style and what would work with our place. Great follow up with contractors. Appreciated the check in visits.

Sashya and team are exceptional at what they do and an absolute pleasure to work with. I can't recommend ID8 enough.
I needed a designer to help me bring my vision for my startup, Musicians Playground, to life. Sashya and team started with a meeting to understand my brand at length and the goals I had for the project. They produced a floor plan that would maximize efficiency of our space and meet the requirements of our brand. From flooring, to paint, to electrical - they handled all aspects of the project in great detail and with the utmost organization.
The thing I am most appreciative
