Statement
Kavi Ahuja Moltz
Kavi Ahuja Moltz is known for conceptual, narrative-driven branding that treats each D.S. & Durga perfume as an "invisible soundtrack" or landscape, with packaging, naming and visuals designed to evoke specific places, music and cultural references. She draws on architectural training and Indian-American influences to create minimal yet story-rich designs for the Brooklyn-based niche brand.
