I Maulshree, loves to sketch new innovative designs while travelling and has successfully given many designs the shape they have in the DBM product range of today in train, ship or flight journeys to beautiful destinations of the world. Exploring new places and taking a dive into their tradition and culture has now become my second nature. Since early teenage years i am passionate about capturing shapes and foams from nature, in my sketches while travelling. And when it comes to choosing between the comfortable sitting job in front of a PC or toiling in sun with a craft tribe in a village interior, one should check out the village side to locate my experimentation with the traditional practices with no second thoughts. I am pass-out from Indian Institute of Crafts and Design would manage to delve in nature during my several craft expeditions. My urge to discover the designs in natural flora, structures, landscapes and in historical treasures started long back when i was just 13 travelling around India with my father due to his transferable job. Doing a Graduation in Interior design and then specialization in Furniture design was an easy and a natural choice of mine. The debut projects that i got to work on after completing post grad helped me to lay a very strong foundation in my quest to design and develop unique, nature inspired, eco-friendly utility products and furniture. I am thankful to my alma mater for giving me an opportunity to explore dozens of materials and crafts like Pottery Craft of Gujarat, stone craft of Sikandara, wood craft of Barmer in Rajasthan to name a few. Today as a professional product and furniture designer, i am based in the Shivalik range of Uttarkhand, popularly known as “devbhumi” of India, and i am actively involved in making attempts to revive and reinvent various craft styles of India lending a traditional yet modern, spiritual yet stylish meaning to lifestyle products and decor .My professional journey started in Jan 2011 with a textile craft documentation project in Kumaon & Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, and then there was no looking back but a circular journey that marked a new beginning with the launch of DBM in Dehradun from where it all started.
