I am a recent graduate of the Advanced Architectural Design program at GSAPP, Columbia University. My exposure in India together with my education at Columbia has given me the tools to excel as an architect. I am a hard worker, with strong feelings about the contribution design can make to society and a passion for solving complex problems.
