You choose, we design & execute
Timeless, collaborative and functional
DRAN- "to do" in Greek. But for Studio DRAN, it means so much more.
Four letters that began as four names: Dimple, Rajesh, Anjali, Neha - the hearts that built our foundation.
What started as family initials evolved into our design philosophy: Design. Reflect. Analyze. Navigate.
We craft sanctuaries that age gracefully with you. From homes where precious family moments unfold to neighborhood cafés where community gathers, every design captures your story. We believe creating a space isn't just about arranging furniture - it's understanding the poetry of daily life, where conversations naturally flow, and how spaces breathe with your journey.
Leadership
With a Bachelor of Architecture from Mumbai University and over 3 years of diverse experience across residential and commercial projects, Dimple brings both technical expertise and creative vision to every Studio DRAN project.
Her journey began with hands-on urban research at Urbz Collaborative (Mumbai), where she worked on community-focused reconstruction projects in Dharavi. She then honed her design skills at Studio Nishita Kamdar (Mumbai), managing large-scale residential interiors and architectural projects across Mumbai, Pune, and Goa. Most recently, at Osaya Architects (Los Angeles), she led comprehensive interior design projects ranging from intimate 1200 sq ft residences to expansive 6000 sq ft homes, alongside commercial office spaces.
This diverse experience - from urban planning to luxury interiors - gives Dimple a unique understanding of how spaces function for different communities and lifestyles. Her approach combines technical precision with deep empathy for how families live, work, and create memories in their spaces.
