Roaring success Dubai-based interior designer Pallavi Dean talks design philosophy and fashion fads
An architecture graduate of the American University of Sharjah with a masters degree in Interior Design Theory from Savannah College of Art and Design, Pallavi Dean has emerged as one of the most influential figures in the UAE design community. A winner of the Middle East Young Interior Designer of the Year award in 2010 and having previously worked as an associate in the interior design department of Godwin Austen Johnson, one of the Middle East’s leading architecture practices, Dean went on to open her own business in 2013. Originally named Pallavi Dean Interiors, the company rebranded as Roar in September 2018 and has now completed close to 120 projects in eight countries and won 21 awards. LuxLife met with Dean to discover more about her passion for design and where she finds inspiration.
