"Being an artist, I believe architecture is just an art we live in, and cities are galleries that embody this art."
Namaste! Welcome to my creative space, where urban design meets imagination! I'm an urban designer and architect with a passion for crafting spaces as vibrant and dynamic as the communities they serve. With a Bachelor’s in Architecture from the University of Mumbai and a Master’s in Urban Design from Georgia Tech, I've traveled from the lively streets of India to the innovative urban landscapes of the United States, always eager to explore new possibilities.
Before pursuing my master’s in urban design, I spent over two years designing everything from streets to entire urban landscapes in India, the UAE, and Rwanda. This hands-on experience fueled my love for studying how cities work and inspired me to focus on making our urban spaces more social and humane.
At Georgia Tech, I’ve had the chance to dive deeper into urban design with each studio project, which even led to winning an Honorable Mention in the competitive ULI Hines Urban Design Competition 2024. My summer internship with the City of Atlanta had me rolling up my sleeves to work on affordable housing solutions, and now I’m interning with Code Studio in Atlanta, helping to create plans and codes that bring vibrant, walkable communities to life.
This space is dedicated to sharing my journey, projects, and insights. It's an invitation to explore the world of urban design and architecture with me.
