Ashwin Tanikasheryl built a philosophy.
From creating CGI for The Hobbit to designing experiences that feel almost therapeutic, his journey to founding Closequarters is a reminder that travel isn’t just moving through places — it’s being moved by them.
Ashwin speaks about crafting “the right circumstances for someone to feel moved,” and honestly… that’s exactly what his work feels like. Quiet. Intentional. Transformational.
