In an era where sustainability is no longer a buzzword but a necessity, Mehwish Mirza, founder of MM Design Studio, is leading a quiet revolution in interior design. Based in Delhi-NCR, her firm has become synonymous with responsible, innovative, and aesthetically profound design solutions.
Founded in 2020, MM Design Studio quickly gained traction for its client-first approach and turnkey services. However, what truly sets the firm apart is its commitment to sustainable and future-forward design practices. “Designing today means designing for tomorrow,” says Mehwish. “It’s about creating spaces that endure—not just visually but environmentally.”
The studio’s portfolio reflects this philosophy. Whether it’s a high-end residence in Gurgaon or a themed restaurant in Delhi, sustainability is integrated at every stage—from choosing long-lasting materials and energy-efficient lighting to optimizing natural light and ventilation. “We believe that every decision we make as designers has a ripple effect. Choosing durable finishes reduces waste. Planning layouts that maximize daylight lowers energy consumption. These aren’t small changes—they’re transformative,” she explains.
Innovation is another hallmark of MM Design Studio. The team embraces cutting-edge technology like 3D visualization and project management tools to ensure transparency and efficiency. “Clients see their spaces virtually before execution. It minimizes errors and makes the process interactive,” Mehwish adds.
Her passion for responsible design stems from a deep understanding of the architectural industry’s impact on the planet. “Construction and interiors are resource-intensive industries. We can’t ignore that. Our role is to find a balance between beauty, function, and responsibility,” she emphasizes.
However, the journey toward sustainable design wasn’t without challenges. Educating clients about the long-term value of eco-friendly solutions was initially tough. “Many people still see sustainability as expensive or unnecessary. It took a lot of explaining and showing real results to change that perception,” Mehwish recalls.
Today, MM Design Studio has built a reputation as a forward-thinking firm that blends artistry with accountability. Looking ahead, Mehwish envisions her firm expanding beyond India’s borders, taking Indian craftsmanship and sustainable innovation to a global stage.
Her message to upcoming designers is clear: “You cannot design for today alone. Think long-term. Think impact. Great design should make lives better—without costing the planet its future.”
With leaders like Mehwish at the helm, the future of design isn’t just stylish—it’s sustainable.
