Aditi Sharma Maheshwari
Aditi Sharma Maheshwari completed her masters in Advertising and Marketing Communications in Mumbai but wasn’t entirely sure she wanted to pursue a career in the field. Journalism and long-form writing felt more exciting, and so started her first job at The Address (The Times of India), a tabloid on interiors and art. She wrote profiles of Indian artists, designers, and architects, and covered inspiring houses and commercial properties. This is also where she learned the ropes and gained knowledge about the vast yet exciting world of design. After four years at the brand, she moved on to ELLE DECOR, as a senior features writer where she contributed to the magazine and website, and also worked alongside the events team on India Design ID — the brand’s 10-day, annual design show that took place in New Delhi. She wrote across topics: from designer interviews, and house tours, to new product launches, shopping pages, and reviews. After spending three years at the title, she was offered a position as senior editor at Houzz. Being part of the founding team of Houzz India was both exciting and challenging, and the experience was full of learnings. The website content focused on practical advice on decorating the home and making interior design feel more approachable. She created a series of articles on budget buys, design hacks, and DIYs, all backed with expert advice. Equipped with sizable knowledge of the industry and with a good network, she moved to Architectural Digest (Conde Nast) as the digital editor, and contributed to AD Design Show — a 3-day on-ground event that brought together Indian and global brands. Since the publication's focus was on high-end design, her content covered design A-listers, starchitects, celebrities and highlighted high-concept products, all customized for an audience that loves and invests in luxury. She also worked closely with the video teams on how best to package AD House tours and AD fine art films to gather interest from a global audience. After a two-year stint, she moved to London and was hired at Livingetc. Currently, as the design editor, her focus is on kitchens and bathrooms and she covers exciting before/after projects, writes expert pieces on decor, and color, and occasionally reviews unique travel destinations.
Her love for interiors and design extends outside of her work life. She has styled two projects in Mumbai for clients, and as a serial renter, considers each new home as a fresh“project” to sink her teeth in. She’s a passionate writer and has co-authored a book on short stories covering new Indian writing. Once every month she can be found reciting poetry at Spoken Word, London. She’s an animal-lover and truly wishes she lived on a farm with dogs, cats, bunnies and cows for company. In her free time she loves to explore new restaurants in the city. And, she’s always up for quick weekend getaways if she finds the right company.
