Naveena Moorthy

Hello! I’m Naveena Moorthy, a designer currently pursuing Furniture and Interior Design at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. I recently completed an exchange semester at the Glasgow School of Art, where I explored design across cultures, materials, and mindsets. My work spans furniture, interiors, and objects , often starting with something deeply personal and evolving into functional solutions. Growing up in Bangalore has made me adaptable, and my journey through India and Scotland has shaped how I connect with spaces and people. My work gives me the opportunity to collaborate with artisans, and my time abroad has widened my perspective on craft, material innovation, and design systems. Throughout my academic journey, I’ve worked with two professional studios and prototyped a folding furniture piece for Indian Railways. Along the way, I’ve developed a love for digital tools like Unreal Engine and picked up video editing, which led to the launch of my travel vlog BrewedChapters during my exchange. I also run a small handmade business called Tiny Tangles, where I explore macramé. Design, for me, is a way of building experiences. I love questioning the things around me and often incorporate those ideas into my work.
