About

I am Divya Chandru, an Interior Architect with 6+ years of experience creating customer-centered, premium interior concepts by translating trends, user insights, and brand values into feasible physical design solutions. I bring a strong CMF strategy background and high-impact 2D/3D visual storytelling, with a solid understanding of manufacturing and production constraints.

I collaborate across disciplines to present design intent clearly to stakeholders and keep momentum on projects from concept through execution. I’m currently upskilling for the aviation sector with a Professional Certification in Aircraft Cabin Design, which is expanding my expertise in high-performance interior solutions.
