Industrial/Furniture Designer
Hello! I’m Nidhi, a senior designer at Cherwell Interiors.
I have over 4 years of professional experience and worked globally across the Unites States, India, and Dubai, giving me a broad understanding of how different markets operate. My experience working with global vendors and manufacturers in India, China and Vietnam enables me to develop high-quality products that resonate with market trends.
When I design, I imagine the conversations my designs will create for people, and the excitement when someone asks, “Where did you find this?”
My Design Expertise:
Product Design & Development
I design across a vast product categories that include objects like sideboards, coffee tables, bedside tables, ottomans, chest of drawers, side tables, headboards, bed bases and many more products that belong in the living room and bedroom. Creating concept sketches, 3D models using Rhino and KeyShot, and technical orthographic drawings. In my early years of career, I prepared detailed shop drawings using rhino and keyshot to ensure production feasibility.
Design Direction
I develop moodboards according to seasonal concepts that reflect brand identity and resonate with end users. This includes building visual storytelling tools that guide design direction.
Material Exploration
I have a strong understanding of wood, metal, glass, ceramics, textiles, and mixed materials. I’m passionate about sustainable materials, eco-conscious processes, and finishes that elevate both aesthetics and function.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
I coordinate with design engineering, sourcing, samples coordinator and production management teams to drive alignment and efficient timelines. I’m extremely comfortable leading design reviews, using project management tools and managing communication. I’m great with follow-ups since such teams usually are busy with several projects.

Proficient in developing prototypes, working hands-on with materials, and refining forms for proportions and scale. I create detailed spec sheets, shop drawings, and renderings to support accurate manufacturing and quality control.
Software Skills
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Rhino and KeyShot. Additionally, proficient in making original illustrations using procreate and illustrator, recoloring existing artworks along with pattern repeats.
