I am an Architect. I currently completed my Graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania with a Master's in Environmental Building Design.

Since my childhood I always love the thrill of solving a problem be it in math, in physics, or in everyday life. I do this with such an enthusiasm that I was elected as a student representative for five terms during my undergraduate program where I promoted and led the development of student voice in the school environment. As an integral part of this program I had undertaken a number of field studies, which helped me understand human activities and behavior and the value of space inside and outside and the details to be incorporated in a design.

In an endeavor to gain hands on work experience during my undergraduate program, I interned with Fiits Architects, USA in 2011 after Semester VI during the summer and worked in the re-development project after Alabama tornado. I also got associated with SPA Design Consultants Pvt. Ltd, India and did my professional practice assignment with Sangwaan Architects, India. These experiences gave me insights into the relationship between a building’s space and its functionality and also helped me understand how in real world architects conceive, design and implement plans and create beautiful habitations. 

Buildings themselves were never what drew me to architecture. My fascination was always with the spaces created, the composition and shaping of masses and spaces – solids and voids which evolve to become functional, attractive and sustainable structures  --to learning about the what, why and how of peoples’ lifestyles -- to analyse how a designed space may be perfectly in sync in a certain culture but may create chaos in another.
