Hi, I am a Designer & Architect, a curious and energetic creative. My key interests are interior architecture, custom design, and adaptations.
In my time at grad school, I have pursued a range of studios exploring diverse typologies ranging from retail, experiential, residential, and adaptive reuse-centric projects. I concluded my grad study with a thesis that examines an approach to time and change within cities through the lens of interventions within existing structures. Parallely, I am driven to embrace a mixed media approach to design thinking and making and have applied my curiosity to the same by pursuing printmaking and digital + media electives, which pushed me to learn a lot of the unknowns on the go.
At its core, design to me is a toolkit to make, interact, craft, and bring to realization the experiences of its myriad end users.
