With a dedication to crafting impactful architectural encounters, I aim to be a designer dedicated to blending inventive design with societal accountability. Originating from the United Arab Emirates and enriched by architectural education in India, Sweden and the US, I've acquired a profound appreciation for various cultures and building techniques. Motivated by the patterns of nature and fueled by a quest for material innovation, I aspire to lead the way in advancing computational design and eco-conscious construction methods. I eagerly anticipate bridging the divergence between design theory and its practical application.
