Hello!
Hi, I’m Madhura (pronounced mad-HOO-ra) and I’m so excited to share a bit of my journey with you!
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Hospitality and a Master's in Marketing and over the past 12+ years, I’ve carved a path that’s anything but conventional. I’ve co-founded a successful event company in Dubai, led marketing and operations across multiple industries, I also explored the world of finance by launching a financial advising firm, a short but insightful chapter that sharpened my entrepreneurial mindset.
Today, I’m the proud Chef and Co-Founder of a vibrant Indian restaurant here in Calgary, specializing in Maharashtrian cuisine, food that’s deeply connected to my roots and culture.
At the same time, I run my creative studio, Designed with Panache, a Boutique Branding and Website Design studio based in Downtown Calgary, serving bold, purpose-driven clients around the world.
I’ve always been a creative soul who couldn’t be boxed into one path. Growing up, my parents lovingly called me a jack of all trades and it turns out, that’s exactly the trait that fuels my ability to successfully lead and grow both of my businesses today.
Whether I’m plating a dish that tells a story or crafting a visual identity that brings a brand to life, creativity is the common thread.
When I’m not designing or cooking, you’ll find me Journaling, Meditating, at the Gym or walking with my fur baby Whiskey.
WHATS IT LIKE WORKING WITH ME?
Intentional
I believe a business should be intentional in everything it does. The clearer I understand the ‘why’ behind your business, the better I can craft strategies that align with your core values.
Inspired
I'm not here to simply replicate a design idea you have—I'm here to partner with you in exploring how we can grow your business in a way that's both authentic and creatively inspired.
Intuitive
When we align with our intuition, decisions flow effortlessly. I bring that same creative flow to your website, helping you attract the clients you're truly meant to serve.
