Ravi Vaghasiya

This is my corner of the internet — a home for the things I’m making, learning, and noticing.

Take a look
01 A little about me

Understanding how
things work. Building
what feels useful.

I’m Ravi. Lately, I’m less interested in collecting things and more interested in experiences, nature, useful work, and a life with a little more room to notice it all. I don’t know exactly where that leads yet—and that’s part of the fun.

02 What I do

At work · Studio 44 Visualization

Making spaces visible
before they exist.

I run Studio 44V, an interior visualization studio based in Surat. We create photorealistic still renders that help architects, designers, and homeowners see ideas clearly and make better decisions before execution.

What has my attention

01

Growing things

Terrace vegetables, better soil mixes, and the ongoing mystery of an eggplant that refuses to fruit.

02

Two wheels

Enjoying my TVS Ronin, learning the machine, and imagining longer rides across India someday.

03

Self-hosting

Unraid, home servers, networking, backups, VMs—and tools I probably don’t need to host, but will anyway.

04

Useful tools

Small scripts, Blender add-ons, studio tools, and AI experiments that remove repetitive work.

05

Slower living

Farming, growing my own food, and the idea of a piece of land where life moves a little slower.

04 The shelf

Things I keep
close at hand.

Books that shifted something. Tools that earn their place. A growing record of what has held my attention.

Tools that earn their keep

01

Blender

Where most of my professional 3D work happens.

02

Unraid

Because running my own servers is apparently a hobby now.

03

Python

For every task I shouldn’t have to do manually again.

04

ChatGPT

For brainstorming, coding, learning, and challenging ideas.

05

Tailscale

Making complicated networking feel suspiciously simple.

05 Notes to self

A place for thoughts
worth returning to.

Not articles. Not content. Just an occasional record of what felt worth keeping.

Note 001

A place of my own.

I spend a lot of time building things for a purpose.
Work has clients. A business has to make money. Social media wants attention. Even hobbies somehow end up becoming things we’re supposed to get better at.

I wanted one place that didn’t need any of that.
No audience in mind. No posting schedule. No attempt to build a personal brand. Just somewhere to keep things I don’t want to lose—an idea I had while riding, something I learned from growing a plant, a book that changed how I looked at something, a question I couldn’t answer, or simply a period of life I might want to remember later.

If you’ve somehow ended up here and find any of this relatable, I’d genuinely love to connect. I enjoy meeting and learning from like-minded people—people who are curious, value a simpler life, enjoy building, exploring, or just think a little differently.

Maybe nobody reads this.
That’s fine. I think I’d still like knowing it’s here.

Ravi Vaghasiya

No grand conclusion.

Just a place to
keep becoming.
