An interior designer and also a pet lover,  Devyani believes in manifesting her dreams and having a positive attitude towards work.

Devyani shares that, since her childhood, she loved to decorate things and she used to do it for fun and enjoyment. Devyani and her parents loved to travel to different places including abroad. She always wanted to do creative work and her parents supported her in every endeavor of hers.

Devyani was born and raised in Jaipur and completed her schooling from Maharani Gayatri Devi Girls School. After completing her school, she went out for college in Pune. Devyani is a single child and very close to her parents. She says her parents were very fond of architecture and for collecting antiques as well.

Sharing her experience, Devyanis says that in the recent scenario most of the people understand the difference between architecture and interior designing . According to her, a degree in interior designing is important but practical knowledge is also very important in this field. It is a time consuming job and includes lots of responsibilities. In order to choose interior designing as a career it is necessary to shoulder the responsibilities of designing the dreams of the people and to put hard efforts. It is not a gender-biased industry and this field requires continuous study as well as practical experience.

Talking about her mistakes, Devyani says that she became too friendly with her clients and that directly affected her work.

Devyani believes that to reduce the stress level in life it is important to speak out and to talk with people. In her opinion, daily exercise and listening to music is also helpful in reducing stress and makes you feel happy.
