Elsie Nanji

Elsie has created ideas and images over the last 4 decades, with a unique aesthetic, that has blurred the line between art and commerce. Working within a cultural and social context over the last 40 years, she has shifted her focus from advertising to pure design in the world of graphics, environmental branding and interiors. She feels fortunate to have worked, and to continue working, with some of the greatest minds in photography, film, creative writing, art, design and architecture. Hers is a journey constantly leading to new ideas, executions and installations for major brands, corporate offices, museums and homes.

In March 2023, Elsie was recognised as one of the 100 most influential architects and interior designers taking Indian architecture and interior design into the future. Ever since her shift into Interior spaces, she has won this award for the last 6 years consecutively.
