An interior designer, philanthropist, and hostess extraordinaire— Purvi Padia wears many hats.
After spending a decade of her career in the beauty and fashion industry, Padia set out to begin her namesake residential interior design firm in 2008 with a focus on both New York City and the Hamptons. Through her design work, the NYC-based designer has not only mastered aesthetically balanced and effortlessly elegant homes, but also family spaces and impeccable tablescapes for memorable entertaining.
On the philanthropy front, the mom of two turned her passion into purpose by joining a number of non-profit boards, including UNICEF USA, whom she partnered with in 2018 to found PROJECT LION— a unique initiative that has helped over 850,000 orphans in India in the five years since its launch.
