Nush Wadia
Designer/Artist
I am a designer/artist based in Brooklyn. I work in multiple media ranging from object and spatial design to sculpture, photography and the visual arts.
Design Approach and Inspiration
My work explores the intricacies of the complex relationship between humans, the objects they use and the spaces they occupy. I search for ways in which this relationship is stretched and extends beyond its seeming boundaries.
Get to know them better...
What’s the one item in your home that you can’t live without, and why?
NW: Definitely can not do without my headphones. Nothing else works without them!
What’s your go-to playlist or song when you need a creative boost?
NW: Alligator Bites Never Heal- Doechii, as of now.
If you weren’t a designer, what would you be?
NW: A Paleontologist or a DJ.
My dream
NW: From early on, I knew I wanted to live and work in New York City. Having studied architecture and design, NYC was always a reference point—and now, I’m beginning my career in the city that once inspired my academic work.
Being surrounded by leading creatives motivates me daily. I’ve long admired WantedDesign for its boundary-pushing community, and I see the membership as a powerful way to connect with like-minded peers who are reshaping contemporary design. Through my MFA thesis, I explored furniture-like objects used by Indian street vendors—designs that evolve outside of formal production—and drew inspiration from thinkers like Enzo Mari.
My dream is to build a studio that works across design and art, exploring new material languages and functional ideas while contributing meaningfully to how we experience objects and spaces.
