About 

Originally from Bombay,India.I graduated from the University of Pune. I worked for an Architectural Design firm called Studio Padmini Pandey in Bombay. I worked on Commercial, residential and hospitality projects there. I moved to the United States to pursue my Masters in Architecture with a focus in Sustainable Design at Iowa State University. During the course, I interned at BNIM Architects in Des Moines. 

I love sketching,reading and listening to music in my free time. I get inspired by projects where Architecture itself could be an interesting framework to engage nature, people and culture.
