About Zeenat
I’m an interior designer based in the Bay Area. I've had the pleasure of working with some wonderful designers, on some wonderful projects. Including Wit Interiors, Marsh & Clark Design, The San Francisco Arts & Antiques Show and Ascent Apartments. After eight years of working in the tech industry, I was called to interior design, and pursued it with UC Berkeley Extension’s Interior Design and Architecture program.
I love to understand a client’s personal style and lifestyle, and craft homes that are infused with nuance, refinement and color. Life is too short, and one should live beautifully! I am honored to be a part of that process.
Personally speaking, I love beautiful things. I'm fascinated by the story behind a piece of art or how something was designed. I love a mix of old and new. Weaving in something with a classic sensibility into contemporary design. My roots growing up in India, living in the UAE and moving to the US, have shaped my appreciation and developed my eye for all things artistic and handmade. Whether a beautiful hand-woven rug, block print fabrics or art that shifts the tone of a space. It’s all in the details. And it’s what inspires me to do the work I do.
Where it All Began
In 2016, I made a trip to the south of France, and it remains etched in my memory. I was very inspired by the way people lead their lives. There was a certain sense of creativity & flair in everything they did. It was a joy to witness.
In Paris, I was inspired by the design, packaging and presentation of things. Whether a perfume or a macron, things were exquisitely presented. The color palettes fresh, the window displays told a story.
Provence was a revelation. I got introduced to nature in a whole new way in the south of France. We saw every shade of green imaginable as we walked through the countryside. Cypress trees touched the sky. Natural fragrances filled the air. Lavender, rose, verbena were a part of people's daily lives. I was fascinated with the aesthetics and the ability to make every day beautiful.
I met some wonderful people & took A LOT of notes! It was a hugely inspiring trip for me. It opened my eyes to the joys of living beautifully every day. As Henri Matisse said, “There are flowers everywhere for those who want to see them.”
