A design visionary, strategic planner, and hands-on craftsperson, Prairna’s passion for socially impactful design has always pushed her to go beyond the ordinary. To her, a successful design is meaningful and inspiring—one that feels right—and lies at the intersection of culture and community, economics and ecology, art and engineering.
With over 14 years of experience working in both India and the United States, Prairna has contributed her talents to various project types, including residential, hospitality, higher education, urban mixed-use, workplace, interiors, and high-rise design. Her experience across a diverse range of scales and typologies is threaded together by a design process that is equal parts exploratory and analytical, data-driven, and iterative—with the goal of creating timeless and memorable places. The results are perhaps best exemplified by her recent work on two landmark WRNS Studio projects: A High Tech Client’s workplace campus and the Orchard Workspace—award-winning and high-performing projects that strike a harmonious balance between the natural and built environments while fostering a symbiosis between people, place, and planet.
