Workplace architecture and interior design firm Ted Moudis Associates (TMA) announced that Arjav Shah has joined the firm as senior studio design principal. Bringing more than 18 years of design and leadership experience, Shah will help advance TMA’s creative practice and bring new perspectives to the firm’s work as organizations continue to rethink the role and potential of the workplace, it said.
Throughout his nearly career, Shah has led multidisciplinary teams and partnered with global clients across workplace, higher education, institutional, hospitality and mixed-use projects. That breadth of experience informs a design approach grounded in collaboration and technical rigor, while his creative vision and ability to anticipate what’s next allow him to translate complex business objectives into forward-looking design solutions that strengthen culture, inspire innovation and support organizational performance.
“Arjav brings the kind of design leadership and perspective that will immediately strengthen our practice,” said Ted Moudis, AIA, senior principal and founder of Ted Moudis Associates. “He understands that the most successful environments are not only well designed, but deeply connected to how an organization operates, how its people work and where the business is headed. That combination of design excellence and strategic thinking makes him a natural fit for TMA, and we’re excited to welcome him to the firm.”
Shah’s design philosophy is rooted in the belief that exceptional environments begin with a compelling narrative and an honest expression of materials. His work brings together architecture, proportion, light, color and materiality, with a strong emphasis on sustainable and regenerative design, including material health, biophilic design and low-carbon strategies.
“Arjav brings a strong design perspective and a collaborative approach to leadership that will be an important addition to our studio,” said Christopher Savoglou, senior principal. “He has a natural ability to bring people together, challenge conventional thinking, and encourage teams to approach complex design problems with curiosity and creativity. We’re excited to have his voice and perspective at TMA and to see how his leadership helps strengthen our design culture and the work we deliver for our clients.”
