About 

My passion lies in exploring the experiential and qualitative impact of architecture, particularly the intangible and subjective nature of spaces. I have recently completed my graduate studies in architecture from UCLA, giving me a strong technological base and a broader design skillset. As a professional architect (registered with COA India), I have about two years of cumulative work experience, majorly working on Institutional and Residential projects.
