Studio Kahaani, which means “stories” in Hindi is an interior design studio in the heart of Ottawa, ON that specializes in bespoke creative services. Swathi approached me with a desire to turn her favourite side hustle into a thriving business that would allow her to quit the international day job that she’s been working for 20+ years. Anyone who has set this goal knows it’s not a small feat, starting with her branding is setting Swathi up to succeed right from the beginning. After our 2 hour shoot, she’s able to show prospective clients a portfolio that shows she’s taking this business seriously. Because we dug a little deeper into what she loves about her business, her goals for the future, and what her brand represents, we were able to create images that communicate that message of connection, storytelling, and depth effortlessly.
