Human Experience Design
Girija Regmi
a studio for beautiful
human experience
Research and design for the objects, spaces, rhythms and rituals through which a life is actually lived.
Enter the studio →The Studio
Most of a life is spent inside ordinary hours.
We study those hours — the app you open before you are properly awake, the room you eat in, the way a week is shaped, what you put on your body, what you put in it — and we design them to be worth living inside.
Beauty here is not decoration. It is a form of care that can be built into a thing, and felt every day by the person using it.
How the studio works →Five Practices
Five panes of one window.
Each takes a single essential surface of daily living and asks the same question: what would this feel like if it were made with complete care?
01
Kindred
Apps that become an extension of the person, and carry them toward the people they belong with.
02
Dwelling
Tiny houses, interiors, household objects, and the village and land that hold them.
03
Rhythm
Rituals that hold the essentials structurally, so the day stays free for creative living.
04
Adornment
Clothing that supports and elevates each singular body, in material worth celebrating.
05
Nourishment
A food library tuned to a person's taste and body — nourishment from the physical to the soul.
How we work
Slowly, and from the inside.
One
Live with the question
Before anything is drawn, we spend time inside the experience itself — cooking the meals, keeping the rituals, wearing the clothes. Research that stays at a distance produces design that stays at a distance.
Two
Make it real early
A rough thing you can actually use teaches more in a week than a beautiful drawing teaches in a month. We prototype in the material, at full size, as soon as we can.
Three
Refine until it disappears
The finished version of a good design is not noticed. It fits so closely to the person that it stops being an object and becomes part of how they move through a day.
Work with the studio
If any of this is the work you are trying to do, write.
The studio takes on a small number of collaborations, commissions and research partnerships each year.
