Our Story
At Nami began with a love story—both for people and for the art of the handmade. While living in New York, Gayatri met her husband, whose warmth and creativity mirrored her own. On a visit to his hometown of Ramgarh in Rajasthan, she was captivated by the artisans crafting intricate handwork with extraordinary skill. Each piece they created was a reflection of tradition, precision, and passion—a legacy passed down through generations. This moment was transformative. Gayatri saw the immense value of these artisans’ creations and felt a deep desire to preserve and showcase their craft. Their ability to turn raw materials into timeless art resonated with her own creative journey, which began at a young age. As a teenager, Gayatri designed jewelry that sold out at exhibitions. Later, while working in finance in New York, she began designing clothing as a creative outlet. Today, she brings that same passion to designing bespoke home interiors for friends.
