About 

I am currently a M. Arch candidate at Virginia Tech. I have gained valuable work experience with Cannon Design, White 3 (P) Ltd and Sandeep Shikre and Associates in architecture and interior design projects. I believe the intent of architecture goes far beyond the mere purpose of design and rather for the growth and betterment of communities and the lives of clients. The purpose of architecture is to deeply invest one’s own self into this one service. In turn, I hope my future career embodies this passion, relentless curiosity, rigorous pursuit of wisdom, skills, unquestionable work ethic, dedication to the profession and people.
