Nysa Rohatgi Studio Kēda

Nysa is a multidisciplinary artist and industrial designer working across objects, co-branded works, and public art installations.

Shaped by a transient life, aided by IKEA, Nysa's practice emerges from repeatedly making and unmaking homes. Living nomadically meant adapting to new floor-plans, prompting different rituals, relationships, and habits including a shift from independent making to collaboration. These experiences form a contemporary, material-driven practice rooted in minimal intervention and built through network of creatives, producing works that feel intuitive, yet fresh.

Working under the moniker Studio Kēda, she has collaborated with brands including MECCA, ALPAKA Gear, and on large-scale public art projects with Studio CKGoff with artists including DREZ, Milne+Stonehouse, Lea Taylor, and Joel Adler. She works across proposals, concept development, visualisation, through to technical resolution. Alongside her practice, Nysa also lectures at RMIT University's School of Design.

There’s a constant itch to create, experiment, and initiate. A drive to do and “fail faster” shapes how I explore ideas and opportunities before knowing exactly where they will land.
