After completing Architecture, I delved into art and design due to my fascination for organic forms in nature. Through my experiences, I acquired skills in software, sculpture, woodworking, metal fabrication, and ceramic craftsmanship. I am passionate about designing immersive experiences where light, space, fractal science, proportions, and universal laws become my guiding principles.
Collaborating with esteemed architects and artists, I embraced computational design to create meaningful spaces. My portfolio reflects a deep connection between nature, space, art, and architecture. I am eager to shape interior design and creative placemaking, develop large-scale installations, and explore the boundaries of parametric design. As an artist, I strive to integrate art into everyday life seamlessly.

University of Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN, US, Masters, Studio Arts
I developed my creative expertise and niche in large-scale art installations, immersive art, ceramics, and material handling.
Over the course of my program, I have practiced working with wood, metal, and ceramics. I applied my design skills to build immersive art and sculptures and hosted art exhibitions thrice. I am installing my first large-scale permanent metal sculpture at the University of Indianapolis campus. I have trained myself with the software commonly used for parametric design and digital fabrication, Rhino, and Grasshopper. I am also completing a certificate in Revit. My background in Architecture makes me proficient in drafting, planning, designing, documentation, and construction knowledge. As an artist, I have gone in-depth with the building processes of aesthetically pleasing, fluid, and organic forms with built materials.
I look forward to marrying both fields to revamp the city with creative placemaking and large-scale art installations.
Rizvi College of Architecture, Mumbai, IN, BArch, Undergrad
The B.Arch course which is spread over a period of five years is divided into 10 semesters. In my first year, I was introduced to foundation subjects to strengthen my design skills, graphical representation, sketching, model making, and 3d visualization.
In my second year, I practiced design skills in realistic spaces and enhanced my understanding of spatial aspects and ability to document existing rural habitats and vernacular practices and adopt a problem-solving approach.
The third year taught me an advanced level of technical knowledge combined with design thinking and philosophy to work on large-scale commercial projects in an urban environment.
I tackled serious issues of affordable and sustainable housing in the Fourth year along with advanced technical subjects like building services and construction. I got architectural work experience by interning with professionals in the industry and getting an insight into the existing practice.
In the Fifth year, I researched the relevance of art districts about people, art, and nature and designed Pune's first Art district center for the Design Dissertation.
