About 

Architect, 27, Mumbai, India
Seeking a full-time position.
Willing to relocate.


Architecture should always propagate a conversation between the user and space, enhanced aesthetically by the creator, in this case, the architect. It should never be a product of the creator's imagination which bargains the innate function of the space and the user's comfort.
In my recent positions, I managed and assisted in various projects under the guidance of my senior associate and also coordinated with various consultants and work streams under demanding deadlines. The projects ranged across urban, commercial, hospitality and residential typologies. I am well versed with building materials and systems, sustainability techniques and site handling. I have extensive experience with a broad range of design and management software including Revit, AutoCAD, Sketchup, Rhino and Adobe Suite.
