EDUCATION
...............................................................................................................................
...............................................................................................................................
A keen eye for detail and an inclination towards parametric design is what defines me. Having spent almost 5 months in event industry, I have got a hang of the speed and motivation required in industry. Although the work becomes frustrating at times because one does not get enough personal time, but the end result is what balances it all. My motivation for work comes from the enthrallement our guests experience at our events. Some remain awe struck after they enter a party. This drives me to leave no stones unturned when it comes to finishes and detailing.
From July 2013 to 2018 BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL OF PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE, NEW DELHI.
From July 2011 to April 2013 EDUCATION FOR POST MATRICULATION AND IIT COACHING SRI CHAITANYA AMEENPUR, HYDERABAD
This line of work has been a perfect teacher for me to work collaborately with different teams like site managers, lighting, clothing, flowers, welders, carpenters, vendors, etc. Slowly and steadily, I am getting a hang of team management while keeping a focus on good design and aesthetics. I look forward to create the unseen and awe gazing decor differently for each and every project.
From 2006 to 2011 EDUCATION UP TO MATRICULATION LOYOLA SCHOOL BBSR
Having worked on almost all aspects of and event project which involves designing, proposal, production, site supervision, costing etc, I look forward to greater opportunities for a career in architecture and event design. Why don't we work together? Go futher down to see why I am the man you need to hire!

WELCOME TO THE MAGICAL WORLD
The idea is to create a wonder which will attract people to Select mall on the eve of Christmas. The overall colour scheme of the event is white, red and green. To fill up the spaces of the mall with christmas elements which will bring awe while the public views it. The decor uses exaggerated scales of elements and a lot of lights to bring about a sense of grandness.

THEME
Luminaire - A holder or a cradle of light. A place designed to let light and shadow turn into little children at play. As they dance around lost in the game of hide and seek, enlivening the whole place, beautiful shapes start forming up. Shedding off all hesitation , light unfolds her arms to reveal her true colours. Shadow accompanies. Everywhere they go, a kaleidoscope of forms and illusion come up.

Luminaire- A holder or a cradle of light. A place designed to let light and shadow turn into little children at play. As they dance around lost in the game of hide and seek, enlivening the whole place, beautiful shapes start forming up. Shedding off all hesitation , light unfolds her arms to reveal her true colours. Shadow accompanies. Everywhere they go, a kaleidoscope of forms and illusion come up. The attempt here is to bring them to the foreground and create a playfield to witness all the variety, all the charm and all the beauty of light and shadow themselves while life takes a back step and lets the light define and design it. This concept is translated into design by use of mirrors, mirror finishes, light reflecting panels and cut outs in a strategic manner which creates deep silhouettes and different patterns of light and shadow on thee flooring, ceiling and onto people.

HOW I GOT HERE? ARCHITECT | EVENT DESIGNER | PHOTOGRAPHER
The biggest challenge that I faced in these projects was moving forward with the design, whilst collaborating with the wider team. Since these projects were my key responsibilities, I was involved in generating data for production, site supervision, finishing touches, and assisting the operation team with coordination with design team from site and generating the rich and ambient environment right on site. And this was hard and frustrating at times, but ultimately the end product always tends to make me happy and all those countless hours seems fruitful. The job started with end product in mind and finished with a glowing party while we enjoyed our evening experiencing the hard earned fruits of our work which was to be dismantled the day later. I learnt only one thing, “When you are given a job you are expected to do a good job.” With all this experience I look forward to creating more wonders for this world to see and experience. Why don’t we work together to create spaces and places which blow people’s minds away?
