My name is Riddhi Darji. I go to UNCG majoring in Interior Architecture. I was born and raised in India.

-What made you interested in interior design?

Art is what got me into Interior design. Everything related to color, pattern, furniture, materials and creating a certain type of mood that would best the environment.

-Who are some of your design icons?

I get very inspired by the work of Kelly Wearstler, she brings different elements, colors and pattern that go so well together. Love the way she uses plants to make space feel more refreshing and energetic.

A minimal designer that I get inspired by is joseph dirand. I love the way he uses his furniture to define the space. I love the molding aspect that he uses in the space, it bring an interesting character into the space.

My design aesthetic uses balance, color, and pattern which are the most important things for me.

Currently working on renovating a salon that I am super excited about because of the freedom of designing that we are receiving and a mural that we will paint.

-What do you like best about interning at Vivid?

Everyone is flexible and laid back. It’s very intimate which means I’ll get one on one experience with everyone. The location is perfect. The seating layout is great because I can see everyone, and no one is at the hierarchy. It’s always inspiring because we are surrounded by furniture, wallpaper, different lighting fixtures, different paintings, etc.

I love Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, and Ariana Grande.
