Creativity is not just restricted to aesthetically beautiful things that are pleasing to the eye. It can be in any form and in any profession as long as there is joy in creating what one has done. – Lipika Sud (Director, Lipika Sud Interiors)
Design is not a static profession. It changes when styles evolve, technologies advance, and challenges propel. Interior design companies nowadays understand the importance of modern designs. One such company that not only values modern designs but also combines traditional aesthetics to design creative spaces is Lipika Sud Interiors.

THE FOUNDATION OF THE COMPANY
Lipika Sud used to win many prizes in painting competitions. One of her paintings was released as a stamp on Children’s day.
Her college background does not resonate with the profession she is pursuing right now. Lipika is an alumnus of Shri Ram College of Commerce. She is a postgraduate from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication and also holds a degree in Law from The Law Faculty of Delhi University. Initially, she gravitated towards a corporate job because of her qualifications.
But a corporate job could not satisfy her creativity. She enjoyed doing interior designing. While she worked at the Taj Hotels, she enjoyed doing the project and thus, understood the right career for her i.e. interior designing. That’s when she left her job and took to interior design. She opened her own Design studio in 1989 and never looked back.
