THE TEAM
FOUNDER / CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Namita Kapoor is an artist and creative director whose work moves across interiors, hospitality, art, objects, identity and cultural experience.
Her practice is shaped by a choreographic way of seeing — an instinct for how people move through a place, where they gather, what draws them closer and what stays with them afterward. Across residential, hospitality and community-living environments, she brings space, art, material, story and experience into one connected world.
Raised between cultures and informed by a life shaped by art, movement and travel, Namita is drawn to the tension between the familiar and the unexpected. Indian craft and visual language sit alongside a quieter Nordic sensibility; color can be exuberant, material can be restrained, and heritage is treated as something living rather than fixed.
At the center of the work is a belief that a place should feel specific — to its people, its history and the life unfolding inside it. The result is work that is layered without being ornamental, culturally rooted without becoming literal, and always attentive to the human experience of a space.
PARTNER, SALES + STRATEGY
Marisa works across strategy, partnerships, communication and client experience, helping shape how Namita Kapoor Studio grows and how its ideas move through the world.
Her background spans brand, luxury retail, customer experience, product and business development, but the thread through all of it is deeply human. Her instinct is for how people experience a brand: what invites them in, what builds trust and what makes a connection feel lasting.
At the Studio, she brings that perspective across the full experience of a project-from first contact to product, shaping how ideas are communicated, how relationships are built and how the work is carried into the world.
HEAD OF OPERATIONS
Creative and strategic in equal measure, our marketing director brings fresh ideas to every campaign. They turn insights into action and help our message resonate with the right audience.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER / DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PARTNER
Michelle brings together spatial design, interiors, and the art of making. Her experience spans furniture development and global manufacturing, translating the studio’s creative direction into considered spaces and objects. She coordinates with architectural partners in the U.S. and India.
