our STORY
After being into teaching and freelance work for a decade, Shital Chaudhari and Vaibhavi Agrawal founded RAY Design Studio in 2012 - built upon their shared passion for Education and Design. Since then the space has been evolving along with their three growing musketeers who are the real source of inspiration/ driving force behind their open-ended practice. Every project is nurtured here with integrity, care and attention to details.
Our work is guided by a sense of commitment to nurture meaningful designs with the use of appropriate building materials, response to the natural environment, respect for tradition, honest approach to our work process and the act of giving final form. We are passionate about Nature since it makes us believe in the evolution of design, to search and research, to learn and share, inspire and get inspired by others.
