Priya Desai — Research Lead

About Priya

Priya Desai leads research at DecorDesignIdeas. She is responsible for identifying emerging design trends, evaluating products, and making sure every claim in our guides is backed by data or direct testing.

Priya holds a Master’s in Consumer Science from the University of Georgia and previously worked in product development for two home furnishing brands. Her research background means she approaches home decor the way a lab approaches experiments — with controls, measurements, and repeatable results.

Editorial Focus

Priya writes and researches content related to emerging trends, product comparisons, and cultural design styles. She is the person who tests whether a “budget-friendly” product actually lasts, whether a trending paint color looks the same under different lighting conditions, and whether a viral TikTok hack is worth trying.

Experience

• 8+ years in consumer product research
• Master’s in Consumer Science — University of Georgia
• Previously at two major home furnishing brands (product development)
