Shivangi D Lahoty — Co-Founder
As the founder of DesignerShala, I am passionate about revolutionizing design education and empowering the next generation of creative thinkers. Our startup is dedicated to providing design education to aspiring designers of all levels. Through our platform and personalized learning approach, we are creating a community of inspired and skilled designers who are equipped to tackle the challenges of today's rapidly evolving design industry. With 12 years of experience in the design and education industries, I am committed to driving meaningful change in the way design is taught and learned. Join us on our mission to shape the future of design education. As an award-winning fashion design graduate from NIFT Mumbai and FIT New York, I have a passion for all things fashion and design. But my expertise doesn't stop there – I also hold a certification from IIMA, one of India's top business schools, on Cultural and Creative Businesses. As a fashion design educator and edupreneur, I've had the privilege of teaching at some of the most prestigious fashion colleges in India. But my passion for educating others extends beyond the classroom – I'm also the proud creator of India's very first Fashion Design Education YouTube channel, and I run my own online fashion design academy, DesignerShala. My ultimate goal is to democratize and bridge the gap in fashion and design education. With my unique blend of creativity and business acumen, I'm committed to bringing the joy of fashion design to everyone, regardless of their background or experience level.
