Bhakti Aghara
I’m Bhakti Aghara — a curious and passionate Product and Furniture Designer who loves turning ideas into meaningful, functional creations. My design philosophy revolves around blending functionality with aesthetics to craft products that simplify life and spark curiosity. I believe that great design should not only serve a purpose but also bring a sense of joy and connection to everyday experiences.
I thrive in the fast-paced world of design, where each project is an opportunity to push boundaries and bring fresh ideas to life. I strive to craft pieces that people feel drawn to — ones they want to use repeatedly because they find both joy and value in them.
Inspired by people’s daily routines, materials, and culture, I design with empathy, practicality, and imagination. With hands-on experience in concept sketching, 3D modeling, prototyping, and production development, I bring ideas to life that are both visually engaging and feasible to manufacture. For me, design is about making life a little easier — while always keeping it exciting.
