CULA Design Collaborative was founded in 2020 as a collective of architects, artists, and graphic designers in Coimbatore. At CULA, we foster a collaborative work culture that encourages every team member to strengthen their skills and grow during their time here.
After graduating from architecture school, Udhaya found her interest in research and graphic design. She is the co-founder and heads the graphic design team at CULA. It started with making maps and has lead to the design of infographics, brand stories, supergraphics, customised wall art and wallpapers. She has also collaborated with researchers and organizations to pursue her interest in understanding the local history of Coimbatore and visualizing it.
Upon graduating from SAP Chennai, Cibi co-founded Urban Tribes Design Studio, specializing in a range of projects including residential architecture and interior design for restaurants, cafes and offices. In 2020 he co-founded CULA, and in collaboration with the graphic design team his portfolio expanded to include learning centres, museums, memorials and exhibition design.
Currently, CULA is co-working with Studio 29. They work independently on projects as well as collaborate in a spirit of friendship on selected projects.
