I’m Poonam Patel, founder of Urban Loop Studio, a Dallas-based residential design and interiors studio specializing in custom residential floor plans, remodels, additions, custom homes, and luxury interior finishes. My mission is to help homeowners create homes with intention, clarity, and alignment. We create spaces that are not only beautiful, but deeply supportive of the way they want to live. Since founding Urban Loop Studio in 2011, I’ve helped homeowners transform confusing, outdated, or underutilized spaces into thoughtful homes with detailed plans, intentional design, and a process that helps them experience the floor plan before construction begins. I believe a home is more than walls, rooms, and pretty finishes. I believe the floor plan shapes how a family connects, rests, gathers, heals, works, and grows. I believe good design should reduce stress, create ease, protect the investment, and help people feel more at home in their own lives. I believe luxury is not just what something looks like, it is how clearly, calmly, and beautifully a space supports daily living. Urban Loop Studio’s design philosophy is rooted in wellness-centered living, thoughtful space planning, emotional clarity, and timeless interiors. Our values include intentionality, honesty, detail, alignment, beauty, function, and creating homes that feel both elevated and deeply personal. Media can feature me as an expert on custom residential floor plans, home remodeling, additions, custom home planning, luxury residential design, wellness-centered interiors, renovation planning, interior finishes, women-owned businesses, and the emotional side of creating a home that truly fits your life. My perspective is grounded, detailed, and human. I help homeowners move from “I have no idea what to do with this house” to “this finally feels like me.”

He is also the founder of Universal Traveller (universal-traveller.com) and the inventor of Luxury Bikepacking (universal-traveller.com/luxury-bikepacking-definition/), a concept that combines long-distance endurance cycling with luxury hotels, fine dining, and premium recovery, rather than camping and minimalism.

Tim holds a Bachelor's degree in International Tourism Management from NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, with study campuses in Bali and Bangkok.
