Having graduated from the Bachelor of Architecture programme at NED University in Karachi in 2013, I have been part of a variety of design environments in architecture having had the chance to work on commercial, residential, corporate, and interior design projects as well as urban proposals, before moving to the US in 2015.
My work experience involves architectural and interior design experience; leading the design process of residential and commercial projects form the conceptual to the construction phase, project management i.e. coordination with clients, project managers, engineers, contractors and interior designers for the preparation of proposal, tender and construction drawings for projects of different scales.
In order to keep up with the architectural practices around the world I have equipped myself with some of the most successful Architectural design software, having command over Revit Architecture, AutoCAD, Photoshop, Sketchup and 3D Max.
