I am a professional rug designer with over 15 years of hands-on experience in custom rug design, based in Bhadohi, India, the global hub of handmade carpets. I have worked with international brands, interior designers, architects, and studios, creating bespoke rug designs that are visually strong and fully ready for real-world manufacturing. Core Expertise • Custom rug and carpet design including modern, abstract, and traditional styles • Pantone color matching and accurate size planning • Production-ready technical drawings and layouts • Material selection including wool, silk, Tencel, and blended yarns • Design planning for hand-knotted and hand-tufted rugs What sets my work apart is my direct involvement with real rug production, which allows me to design rugs that are practical, manufacturable, and aligned with production realities. I help clients turn concepts into production-ready rug designs with clear layouts, mockups, and professional manufacturing guidance.
