PORTFOLIO
BURGER VILLAGE, 57 Seventh Ave S, New York, New York 10014
This project transforms the existing restaurant into a modern industrial lounge, shifting the space from casual dining to a social, event-driven destination.
The concept introduces a refined industrial aesthetic by replacing wallpaper with textured finishes and brick surfaces, adding metal accents, and integrating a custom bar, a bottle cage, and a mosaic-tile entrance. The goal is to create a space that feels both elevated and inviting.
Lighting plays a key role, introducing layered ambient and accent lighting, including statement fixtures and integrated LED strips. Bathrooms are upgraded with new tiles, large mirrors, soft backlighting, and a half-door for added privacy.
Material updates include new tile flooring, warm wood tones, and a palette distinct from the existing brand. Natural elements such as plants and greenery are added throughout, extending to an outdoor beer garden with wood seating and a relaxed atmosphere.
The result is a space designed to evoke energy, comfort, and social connection, encouraging longer stays and repeat visits.

RONAK CAFE, 82 Main str., Woodbridge, NJ 07095
1. Brand Experience - RONAK is not just a café—it is a ritual of return. Rooted in the meaning of light, the brand embodies a quiet contrast: entering darkness to rediscover illumination within. Inspired by Moroccan earthen architecture and cave-like formations, RONAK positions itself as a place of grounding, introspection, and sensory reset. It speaks to a modern audience overwhelmed by speed, offering an intentional pause.
The brand language is:
RONAK becomes a destination for those seeking a mindful break, Emotional reconnection, and a slower, more present rhythm of living.
2. Customer Experience - Guests transition from a bright environment into a dim, cocoon-like space, allowing the body and mind to decompress. Movement slows naturally. Voices soften. Time stretches.
Whether alone or with others, guests feel:
The brand language is:
- Warm, tactile, and soulful
- Minimal yet deeply atmospheric
- Spiritual without being literal

Hang Out | Smart Cafe, 880 Bergen Ave, Jersey City, NJ, 07306
The interior features a glossy, iridescent rainbow palette combined with glittering white surfaces and bold pops of color. In contrast, matte walls and dark-colored floors create a minimal, sleek backdrop, enhancing the futuristic theme. At the heart of this spaceship lies a green oasis filled with organic, imperfect life. Lush plants and smart tables bring a sense of Earth into the hyper-modern setting, offering a moment of calm within the high-tech surroundings.
Furniture pieces are fluid, rounded, or geometric in form—seen in chairs, light fixtures, menu QR holders, and glass dividers. Circular motifs echo throughout the space, referencing spaceship windows and portals. Visual elements such as human-robot figures, depictions of the Moon, and alien or UFO motifs reinforce the cosmic narrative.

"KASHI" Indian Restaurant, 286 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The Customer purchased an existing restaurant with a heavy loft-style interior: exposed ceilings, mismatched wood, and industrial lighting. The space felt outdated and lacked identity.
Additionally, the logistics were inefficient — bar staff and waiters frequently crossed paths, and the bar itself was poorly equipped and visually uninspiring. The task: Transform the space into something visually upscale, refined, and culturally connected to India — all while avoiding full reconstruction, keeping closure time minimal, and staying within a $20,000 budget.
What We Did: Redesigned the entire commercial bar structure — now it looks premium and works efficiently. Separated clean and dirty traffic flows — kitchen and bar now operate independently. Transformed the perception of the interior using color, lighting, textiles, furniture, and decor — without construction or major work.
