PROFILE
After completing a five-year bachelor's degree in India, I graduated from the University of Cincinnati, DAAP, with a Master of Architecture. During my two years in the program, I gained a wide range of design ideas and completed a four-month professional training at Luminaut. I also have one year of work experience in India and completed several internships during my bachelor's studies. These internships allowed me to work closely on residential and small-scale commercial projects. I am passionate about design and enjoy collaborating with others to enhance my skills.
