Meet the Three Spaces Team
Hello. We are Deb, Reid, Amanda, Kiroun, Mariessa, Antares, Narumi and Davida. We are the team behind ThreeSpaces. We are parents. We are women. We are men. We are neurodivergent. We are artists. We are entrepreneurs. We are free thinkers. We are family. We are allies.
We are individuals, woven together by a shared passion; a passion for adorning the walls of the world with wallpaper created from a fabric that is different from its past counterpart. A fabric that is more inclusive, more representative, and tells a more complete story of the world we live in.
This fabric will share unique and carefully curated music, art, movies, and stories, all over the walls of the world.

Kiroun Saluja

Hi, I’m Kiroun (she/her)! I grew up in a home filled with Indian and Thai art my parents collected from their homelands. The memories of these pieces evoke the story of their life, as do the pieces that decorate my walls. I am a wife, a mother, and a business woman who has lived and worked on four continents. The University of Chicago and Columbia Business School led me on a varied professional journey across the US to Australia. After laying down roots in the Bay Area to raise my family, my focus turned to bridge the funding gap in California’s public education. When Covid-19 forced the world to pause and limited my ability to travel and decorate my walls, I started learning about and investing in NFTs; I am amazed at its potential for participation and reach. In an increasingly divided world, art has enormous potential to bring people together by offering new perspectives and connections.
