7. Celebrating the Doyenne: Monica Chadha

“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” ~ Virginia Woolf. On this International Women’s Day, GlobalSpa recognizes and celebrates the women in the industry as we delve into their success mantra they follow, mistakes that have helped them grow, and of course, their WELLNESS philosophy.

Monica Chadha is the Founder and Interior Designer of Design Deconstruct, a multi-disciplinary build and interior design firm.

What is your wellness philosophy?

Wellness to me is anything that brings me peace & quiet. Curling up with a cup of coffee, a book would be one of those, as it gives me a break and the time to unwind after a long day.

Your success mantra?

Success can be interpreted in different ways by different people, handing over a project that touches the hearts of our clients and continues to be a talk of the group tells me that we’ve reached the point of success.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Time and again, we face certain challenges & hurdles on site, or the design process, and at times, it might feel like there is no end in sight, but over time we’ve begun to realise to not just focus on multiple things, when a solid plan is made and the session is on track, we need to trust the process and keep moving towards the goal.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

There’s nothing that women can’t achieve. When you set your mind to something, sooner or later It’ll happen. It is advised to not be reserved & rather be experimental.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

That I get to do something I love every single day. Having good days & bad days is a part of life & career, but at the end of the day, the passion to create something beautiful & getting the happy reactions of our clients is a real joy.
