My time at eumo Design Studio in Mumbai has been nothing short of transformative. As someone who relocated frequently, Mumbai initially overwhelmed me, but eumo quickly became my anchor in Mumbai. Throughout my internship, I had the privilege of working on diverse projects ranging from branding to wayfinding, illustrations, films, and experience design. This breadth of experience not only honed my design skills but also enriched my understanding of creative processes across various mediums. What truly sets eumo apart is its people. The team exudes supportiveness and camaraderie fostering an environment where learning and growth are inevitable. I felt genuinely seen and heard, thanks to the encouragement of colleagues who shared their experiences and insights generously. Under the guidance of visionary leaders like Shanoo Bhatia and my manager, Sitanshu Shukla, I received invaluable mentorship. Their patience and dedication to nurturing talent ensured that I not only contributed meaningfully to projects but also developed personally and professionally. Beyond professional growth, eumo provided me with a sense of belonging. I formed friendships that will undoubtedly last a lifetime, creating a network of like-minded individuals who share a passion for design and creativity. In conclusion, my experience at eumo Design Studio has been a journey of learning, discovery, and personal development. I am grateful for the opportunity to have completed my graduation project here and for the motivation and inspiration that permeates every corner of this studio. For anyone seeking a dynamic and supportive environment to thrive in the world of design, I wholeheartedly recommend eumo.
My time in eumo has been nothing short of riveting, joining Eumo after my graduation has been the best decision as I got to work on very diverse and interesting projects under the guidance of my Senior Architects. Shanoo & Gary have built an amazing design environment to work in with a driven team aiming to accomplish every deadline, couldn’t have asked for a more exciting learning experience.
The studio’s creative environment, talented team, and commitment to quality made it an ideal place to work. I’m grateful for the opportunities I had to grow as a designer.
Great learning experience. The company provides each member of its team the creative freedom to grow, take on new challenges, responsibilities by providing them the right guidance and mentorship which not only allows for professional development but also personal development.
I joined Eumo after my graduation during the pandemic and it has been a great experience to work with them for the past 2 years. Special thanks to Shanoo who has been the most amazing mentor I could have asked for. Always inspiring, encouraging me to learn and explore and try new things and expand my design horizons. I have had the opportunity to do some tremendous work during my tenure from branding to illustration to UI/UX designing at Eumo all thanks to the support and guidance I received. Thank you Eumo for these wonderful opportunities. It has been a truly multi-disciplinary experience.
Being at EuMo has been an enriching experience for me. Working alongside Shanoo & Gary has been a huge learning curve and will be cherished for life. The 7 years that I was here has contributed immensely to my professional & individual growth. I have had the opportunity to work with a great team and a coveted group of clients during my time here. It made me a part of a culture of openness and equal dialogue. EuMo ethos of Thinking Out of the Ordinary and Pushing the Envelope are reflected in every aspect of the firm, in turn inspiring each member to excel.
Right after my graduation, Eumo gave me a great opportunity to work with them. Ever since, I have learnt a lot from all the Eumans. Gary and Shanoo are the coolest and most dynamic bosses to work with. They have always encouraged me to take up challenges fearlessly and work with utmost perfection. They helped me grow as an architect and also as a person. Since I am moving to a different country, I am leaving Eumo. All in all, it’s been a splendid journey marked with an enriching learning process and beautiful memories of multiple ‘a-ha’ moments. It’s been such a delight to work in such a highly creative environment.

I joined Eureka Moment right after graduating from NID and worked here for 4 very productive years. The only reason I left EuMo was that I got married and moved to the United States. Had I been in India I would have definitely continued working there. I remember doing some of my most creative work there. Shanoo always pushed us to deliver our best. Having now worked in the United States for multiple companies, I can vouch for the rigor the company puts into their work and that it is at par with any other global design organization. If you are someone who is looking to work for Eumo, I can promise you that you will be very proud of the work you will do here. On the other hand, if you are someone looking to work with the company for their creative services, I can guarantee there is no other company that will do a better job.
Since January it has been a warm time at Eureka Moment. From getting to know some really talented people, getting to work with them, scribble weekender and starting the week again at eumo – all hands is how it’s been for the past 6 months. While I love being in my comfort space and doing what seems like my forte, getting to work on diverse projects became my comfort space. We can safely say my perspective about design has changed more than ever and the fact that design is almost like a never-ending chain has made me realize that more is never enough. All this definitely helped me break the monotony that I had in me. Here I have been able to grow professionally and hit targets that I would have never expected to hit before. Grateful to be a part of this brilliant team and for guiding me throughout this journey.
There are times when a moment is happening and it’s so special that you know you will remember it forever. Working at Eumo was full of moments like these. My learning curve at Eumo was extraordinary and delightful. The biggest perk of being at Eumo for me was getting the opportunity to work with Shanoo. There is so much to learn from her, especially how she leads with an eye on the bigger picture while still taking care of the tiniest of details. Lastly, at Eumo its not just the clients who find their ‘aha’ moments, employees do too and so often that you have to experience it to believe it.
I had a very enriching experience, working with Shanoo and my team at EuMo. Shanoo kept a lot of trust in me, as she let me take and learn from complete ownership of my projects. What I really enjoyed about working here was that it was an equal conversation between colleagues as we worked on what was best for the project and client. Even the newest person had space to comfortably venture their new perspectives and ideas. This brought freshness while we collectively built and refined it.
Shanoo prodded me to push my boundaries and always pick up challenges at every stage. It was lovely that the whole team took pride in each other’s growth. I’m extremely appreciative of my experience here. Anyone looking for a professional opportunity which encourages individual ownership, and the chance to learn and apply Design Thinking across business and visual design would find themselves at home here.
Eumo was my first job out of college, it opened the doors to the professional world. Learned about things you can never learn in college. We dealt with real challenges at work and I have grown leaps and bounds as a designer. Often times we have to be more than a designer – users, strategists, stakeholders. Working at eumo was always lively and there are always opportunities to do great unique designs.
Grateful for the opportunity.
When I walked into eumo office as an intern on my first day, the vibe of the place took my heart right there.
I spent 2 amazing, most productive months there and enjoyed every bit of it.
Then the pandemic happened, but eumo sailed through so smoothly right from day 01 of work from home. We were always connected and focused on delivering the best to our client.
Big thanks to Shanoo, for always encouraging me, inspiring me and for never letting me feel like just an intern.
This whole experience truly transformed me, as a designer and as an individual.
