A Young and an enthusiastic professional who believes in change, is keen on breaking the boundaries & going beyond the mundane.
An architectural graduate from Gujarat university, India with the capability to meander across myriad of scales with 3 years + experience in the design industry in a variety of roles as an architect across various cities of west and south India , who is constantly striving into the search of the unknown by collaborating with like minded people.
My thoughts processes and values I believe in are defined by the intensity and the depth of involvement in what I do. Being a recipient of accolades and honors on international and national platforms pushes me to persistently explore new dimensions of design, which led to my involvement with ETH Zurich into the Future of Cities via a series of courses.
While photography and writing are tools for me to express my perceptions, Cinema, traveling, food, art, trance and chill-out music are my abodes of unwinding.
Being a curious person I am always eager to learn and foster my skills while being an agent of growth and success of the organization.
