hi!

“We are often told to think outside the box, but what if the box doesn’t exist?”

In the past 4 years, it is this very norm that I have tried to challenge, working on a variety of projects, exploring forms and materials, building userexperiences and incorporating a visual language into all that I create.

A driven, diligent and ambitious person, I am always eager to learn. I have an easy-going nature and strong communication skills. Having led the council, and numerous projects, I have a strong sense of team spirit, leadership and management skills

“AXIS Z is a mixed use high rise on a 10500 sq m site area, where the aim was to create an interactive space, horizontally and vertically. of the different typologies.

The project was based on a live project by the Vatika Group. The site lies on the commercial belt of Sector 88A, Gurugram with the aim to achieve a sustainable, site responsive interactive junction of these three typologies to co-exist.

“Inter weave ” is a free flowing design, connecting the different typologies seamlessly. Respecting the natural contours of the site, the fluid design helps the user experience going over and under the various spaces, with natural greens, passive strategies and sustainable technology ensuring user comfort.

“Vansarthika - A Sustainable Community Housing Project ”

TOP 10 ENTRY | HUDCO Housing for All : Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India National Association of Students of Architecture | NASA 2022

The aim through ‘Vansarthika’ was to attempt a redevelopment project without social uprooting of its residents, and creating an ecosystem that was not just architecturally sustainable, but would use vernacular building material and technology, developed under existing political housing schemes. Through the design, we hoped to preserve the community, empower the community, and inculcate socio-economic sustainability as well.

work experience

INTERNSHIP | STUDIO MARAM May’21 - October’21 (6 months) Kerala, India

Studio Maram is a multidisciplinary studio in Kerala, India whose ideology is to build within nature, and create spaces which speaks for themselves.

Working there for 6 months, I have been involved in various projects, been a part of client interaction and worked with a global multidisciplinary team of people. This experience helped me gain practical skills, and exposure while learning a lot technologically, and practically.

Kunjunni Mash was a noted Indian Malayalam poet (10 May 1927 - 26 March 2006). He was born in the village of Valapad in Thrissur. He was a teacher, an inmate of the Ashrama where he taught, looked after the hostel boys and a prolific writer. His memorial was thus constructed on his homeland, inculcating his ideologies throughout

FREELANCE PROJECT | INTERIOR AND GRAPHIC DESIGN

Status: Completed ; September 2022 Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India

Deccan Coffee Club is a startup to promote the traditional filter coffee flavours of our country, thus the brand and the cafe needed to reflect the same.

The freelance project included designing and finishing of the cafe, branding and graphic design, and website development

With limited time and cost, the space had to be converted from a closed shop into a spacious cafe.

The facade and coffee themed colour palette helped bring life to the space, with ample sunlight pouring into the interiors for a cozy time.
