Nush Farzaan Wadia is a visual artist and designer based in Brooklyn, New York.

Born and raised in the chaos of Mumbai, he gained his Bachelor in Architecture from the University of

Mumbai. In 2022, he pursued an MFA in Furniture Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design in

Georgia, USA, and was honored with the prestigious J.N. Tata Endowment Scholarship that same year.

With an academic foundation in spatial and object design, and a passion for the visual arts, his work

engages with a spectrum of media. Ranging from sculpture and photography to illustration and

animation, his work explores the intricacies of the complex relationship between humans, the objects

they use and the spaces they occupy. He searches for ways in which this relationship is stretched and

extends beyond its seeming boundaries.

His works have been published internationally on platforms such as Designboom, Dwell and Adorno and won an

International Design Award, Core77 Design Award and a European Product Design Award.

In May 2025 he received an NYCXDESIGN award in the student category and was one of three design studios to win the

ADORNOXWANTED Prize while showing his work at Launch Pad by WANTED at ICFF, New York, 2025.

Nush is always looking for opportunities to showcase his work and play around with the boundaries of the media he engages with.

Above all, he has no idea why he is typing this out in third person.
