Ruchi – Brand experience designer

With a foundation in architecture and a deep passion for storytelling through space, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to my role as a Brand Experience Designer at ICRC. My journey spans across architecture, branding, and spatial experience design—crafting environments that not only look beautiful but also communicate meaning and connect with people.

Having worked on a range of projects from immersive brand experiences to large-scale exhibitions and retail spaces, I specialize in blending spatial design with narrative, user insight, and technology. At ICRC, I apply this holistic approach to create purposeful, engaging experiences that align with our clients’ vision and resonate with their audiences—whether it’s through physical environments, interactive installations, or branded touchpoints.

For me, design is about shaping how people feel, think, and move within a space—and I’m excited to keep pushing those boundaries here.
