About 

A post-graduate architect from University of Liverpool, UK looking for a challenging and creative opportunity to apply my skills and learning and grow in the professional environment. Having had opportunity to work on prime projects during my two years of professional experience in India, I would now like to grow beyond the boundaries to test my passion for making a creative solution to the building industry problems. With careful understanding of the impacts of the built environments, effective use of technology and materials should be experimented. I would like to work on a global scale and explore the possibility of creatively using different materials and technologies to suit the contemporary needs in a sensitive way.
