What makes a house feel like home?
In this episode of South Bay Buzz, host Megan Lebre sits down with Upasana, founder of Urban Nest & Nook, a South Bay–based home and lifestyle brand rooted in handmade design, cultural heritage, and intentional living.
Upasana shares her journey as an immigrant entrepreneur, how growing up surrounded by color and craftsmanship in India shaped her creative vision, and why she believes home is truly “where life happens.” From sourcing hand-crafted textiles and jewelry from India and Dubai to designing single piece, one-of-a-kind items meant to tell a story, this conversation explores how design can be both personal and deeply meaningful.
Together, Megan and Upasana talk about:
Creating a home that reflects you, not trends
The beauty of handmade, imperfect pieces
Supporting small businesses and shopping local
Building a heart-led brand rooted in community
The emotional connection between home, family, and legacy
Whether you’re a design lover, small business supporter, creative entrepreneur, or someone craving more intention in your space, this episode will leave you inspired to see your home — and your story — in a new way.
South Bay Buzz features authentic conversations with local business owners, creatives, and community builders shaping life in the South Bay of Los Angeles — and beyond.
