Dimapur, April 23 (MExN): A well-known designer internationally; designs and arts have always been a passion for Seyie. She entered the world of high style in the heart of the New York and Paris international fashion scenes after college. She began her career as an executive with Chanel and Dolce & Gabanna in New York City and worked with some of world’s finest designers. However, she wanted to be on the creative end of things.

Understanding an individual’s personal style or a company’s brand image, and their unique lifestyle or practical business needs, Seyie works directly with clients on all levels to discover the best harmony for spaces from conception to execution.
She balances fashionable interiors that capture the essence of the individual or company’s brand identity, and functional spaces that support lifestyle or promote business productivity. She creates environments that evoke specific emotional responses for clients; spaces that are filled with character and soul while enhancing their life or business. Her inspiration for interior designing comes from her childhood memory with her family, travelling for family trips. Interior designing brings her joy. Her vision of what she eventually wanted helped her stick to her plan and become a successful person.
Recent projects have included designing a convention hall in India to host the annual conference of the World Bamboo Organization, and lifestyle lounges for celebrity gifting including the Annual Grammy Awards Official Talent Gift Lounge 2012 and 2013.
