\ OUR JOURNEY

Arisaa is your creative playground where we're all about the nitty gritty details. We dive deep into our projects and products, infusing them with a sense of adventure and experimentation. Our journey involves exploring a wide range of materials, finishes and technique twists & tweaks to give life to our unique vision. We truly believe magic happens when you least expect it. 
At Arisaa, we find inspiration in the everyday things around us, those that often go unnoticed. We're passionate about taking the ordinary, adding our creative juices and turning it into something extraordinary. 
Our creations celebrate craftsmanship that makes each piece special while enabling artisans across the country. Our design language combines playfulness with a touch of sophistication, ensuring each creation is a master-piece in its own right.

\ ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Aashka has always been deeply curious - about materials, techniques, and the people behind them. Her practice thrives on collaboration with artisans across rural India, spanning textiles, metals and unconventional finishes. She believes that every craft carries a story of hands, heritage & place and through long conversations with the makers, she uncovers nuances that shape her design process.
Each dialogue becomes a bridge, transforming traditional skills into newfound expressions. By understanding artisans as individuals first, she invites trust and experimentation, allowing innovation to unfold organically.
Trained as a graphic designer, Aashka’s instinct for balance, form and visual rhythm translates fluidly into her spatial and material explorations. Her approach merges precision with intuition - where structure meets emotion, and design becomes storytelling.
Her explorations began in childhood with sketching, shaping and discovering new mediums long before Arisaa came into being. Today, Arisaa stands as a culmination of that lifelong curiosity: a space where craft meets concept and materials find new meaning through art and design.
