Janani Kannan
LEED AP
Vice President, Interior Design Project Manager
Los Angeles, California USA
A talented, visionary designer with 20+ years of experience, Janani manages the LA office, interfacing with clients and her team for successful project deliveries. She has led multiple design projects for a confidential tech giant in LA and assisted in space planning for the LaGuardia Airport renovation project. The project she is most proud of is designing the interiors for Corgan’s LA office. “Pleasing 40 amazing architects and designers is no easy task, plus the fact the space is commended by guests who visit our office is gratifying.”
Janani’s drive for completing challenging projects extends to her personal life, where she runs marathons in the US and abroad. As a runner, she knows what it takes to cross the finish line. Her personality and passion for design combined with an empathetic and detailed approach allow her to connect with clients on a personal level while keeping the design quality her number one priority. “Client-centric design is an absolute must, but as interior designers, we must never compromise our design philosophy and stay true to our foundation.”
Her biggest inspiration is her 7-year-old son. “As adults, we tend to get jaded, but seeing the world through a child’s eyes opens our minds to the excitement of discovery, which changes our perspective.”
