About

I am an architectural designer and licensure candidate based in Boston, trained in India, sharpened in the US.

I left behind comfort deliberately. Family, friends, everything familiar, because I knew that real growth only happens when you remove the safety net and set your pace to somewhere faster. I came to Boston not just to study, but to understand how I fit into this market, and eventually, how I build something of my own in it.

My training spans landscape, interiors, architecture, and construction across two countries. In India, I was mentored by architects who taught me that every day should feel new, that detail is a responsibility, and that the people depending on your drawings deserve your full attention. I also learned early that I had a natural ability to connect with clients, to listen, to translate what they need into what can be built.

In the US, I spent months in a construction trailer on an affordable housing project, sitting in meetings with contractors, subcontractors, and owners, walking the site every day. That experience changed how I see design. Buildings stopped being drawings. They became decisions made by real people under real constraints.

My thesis, The Invisible Terminal, came from the same instinct: to design for the people a building forgets. A sensory-centered wayfinding framework for visually impaired travelers at Logan Terminal B.

I think non-linearly. I solve problems that aren't obvious. I understand both the drawing and the room where the drawing gets built. And I'm just getting started.
