I graduated with a Master of Architecture from the University of Southern California, School of Architecture, majoring in American Architecture and Urbanism. I have been privileged to develop my skills and knowledge in a diverse and dynamic academic environment.
Being born and raised in a multicultural environment in India has shaped my thought process and work around cultural juxtaposition with architecture and urbanization.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have over a year of experience in the field of Architecture and Design. I had the opportunity to work on a range of large-scale education, civic, and community projects. I supported in schematic design, concept development, and construction administration phases, where I was able to hone my skills in architectural design and visualization, urban design and planning, and research.
I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive positive change in the built environment and am committed to making a meaningful impact on the world around us.
Interests: Architectural Design & Visualisation, Urban Design & Planning, Research, Architectural Geometry, Real Estate, Sustainability, Mentoring.
