Siddharth Magaji –
I am Siddharth Magaji and I am an alumnus of JD Institute of fashion technology, I studied Diploma Interior Design here at JD for 3 years and I currently represent Livspace as a Designer. Choosing JD Institute over the others was the first bold step out of all the bold steps I had taken to reach where I am now, and it has paid off extremely well, I have received enormous amounts of support and encouragement from the institute during the duration of my course, the practical knowledge such as basic design and it’s technicalities, the details that are required to achieve a particular design, the method of executing my mere thoughts into a visual, were taught by their experienced teachers who were perfect in their respective fields and it has helped me throughout this time. I would like to say that JD was my foundation as a designer and it has stood the test of time and stands strong.
