About 

Amola holds a Master of Architecture degree from Woodbury University, where she graduated from the M.Arch. program with a focus on expanding her architectural design capabilities and developing technical skill sets crucial for her professional journey. Prior to her studies at Woodbury, Amola worked as a licensed architect in India, gaining valuable practical experience that enriches her current pursuit of LEED certification and preparation for the ARE exams.

Amola's passion for architecture extends beyond conventional boundaries. She sees each project as an opportunity to integrate philosophical principles of phenomenology into design, exploring themes of personal experience, memory, and existential reflection. Her thesis at Woodbury University focused on experiencing architecture through memories and time, culminating in the design of A Living Mind Palace (a memory experiential center)  which embodies these concepts.

Proficient in industry-standard software such as Rhino, Grasshopper, VRay, Enscape, Revit, and Adobe Suite, Amola leverages these tools to innovate within design challenges. She excels in environments that foster a strong creative process, pushing boundaries and exploring new ideas to craft spaces that resonate with the universal human experience.

Amola's work style is characterized by adaptability, efficiency under pressure, and meticulous attention to detail. She thrives as a dedicated team player, valuing collaboration and contributing fresh perspectives to architectural projects. Her diverse professional background, coupled with her academic achievements and ongoing pursuit of knowledge, positions her to make significant contributions to any architectural practice or collaborative endeavor.
