Mint Design Studios

Our studio, Mint Design Studios, is located at Kalenagar 74 in Cuffe Parade. It’s a nice enough spot, though parking around here can be a real nightmare if you don’t get in early. We’ve been working from this studio for a while, and it’s become a bit of a second home for the team. The space inside is filled with sketches, color swatches, and half-finished projects. It isn’t as polished as some people might expect from a design place in this area, but it’s comfortable. We spend a lot of time just sitting around the computer monitors, trying to get a layout to look right or arguing about which font works better. We don’t really follow a strict corporate schedule. Sometimes we’re here late because an idea finally clicked, and other times we’re just chatting about stuff that has nothing to do with work. The neighborhood is quiet enough, which helps when we need to focus. We get our lunch from the local spots nearby, and everyone knows each other’s names. We aren't trying to be the biggest studio in Mumbai. We just want to do work that we’re okay with and that makes sense for the people we’re helping. It’s a practical approach to creativity. There are no fancy mission statements on the walls, just a lot of sticky notes and maybe a few coffee stains. We’re just a group of people who like designing things and happen to have a shop in Cuffe Parade.
