About 

I am a recent graduate with a Master of Architecture and Urban Design degree from Columbia University. I am currently completing LEED Certification and have expertise in carbon tracking tools like Tally and LCA. As architecture continues to evolve, materiality and sustainability are becoming ever more critical today. I have  strong design abilities, excellent communication skills, representation, and a keen eye for detail. 

I also have two years of professional experience as a Junior Designer at Bhumiputra Architecture in Bangalore. During my tenure, I worked on two interior design and architecture projects and co-led design discussions with partners, clients, project managers, and vendors. This role significantly honed my communication and leadership skills. I am technically proficient in Revit 3D, SketchUp, Rhino, Grasshopper, and Adobe CC, among others. These skills have enabled me to experiment with and create multiple iterations and patterns, facilitating quicker and more informed design decisions.

Lastly, I am a Canadian Citizen and will not require a visa or a sponsorship.
