An architectural designer by training, I am a problem solver. I believe that design is a powerful tool that can facilitate solutions to solving some of the larger problems in the world.
I have worked with architects and general contractors in India and the USA. I enjoy creating solutions and thinking of how that affects people.
I approach every design problem with the following questions:
-Is it socially responsible ?
-Is it economically feasible ?
-Is it ecologically sensible ?
- Is it honest ?
- Is it artistic ?
- Is it designed for permanence ?
A recent course I did on Human Centered Design has me wanting to explore this approach more, I see a that ideology as a great problem-solving technique.
I love a good conversation about design, get in touch if you want to chat !
