Design Consortium

Design Consortium is basically a small group of us working out of A/8 in Karve Nagar. It’s a residential-ish area, so it’s not as loud as the main markets, but it still has its own energy. We chose this spot because it was convenient and didn’t cost a fortune, allowing us to just focus on what we do. Our setup is pretty simple. We’ve got some desks, a few good computers, and way too many pens that probably don't work. We don't have a receptionist or a fancy waiting room. If you knock on the door, one of us will just get up and let you in. Most of the time, we’re busy sketching things out or arguing over where a window should go. We don't use those big words that agencies use to sound important. We’re just local designers trying to help people get their houses or offices sorted out. It’s not always a smooth process—sometimes things go wrong on site or a supplier is late—but we deal with it as it comes. We’ve built up a decent reputation in the neighborhood just by being around and being honest about what can be done. We aren’t trying to be the biggest firm out there. We just want to keep doing the work we like and make sure the people we work for are satisfied. That’s enough for us. Sometimes we stay late when a deadline is near, but we usually try to get home for dinner.
