Summary

I am a highly motivated architect with a specialization in facade design and sustainability. I graduated with a B. Arch from the University School of Architecture and Planning in Delhi, India and received a M. Sc in Modern Building Design from the University of Bath, U.K. I have over 4 years of experience in the field and have been involved in numerous projects that have integrated cutting-edge sustainable design principles into their facades and more. I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of green and clean architecture, and I am eager to contribute my skills to projects that share this vision, ultimately working towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly future in the world of architecture and design I have a working knowledge of BREEAM, PassivHaus and WELL. I got married recently and moved to the US. Currently, in the process of diligently preparing for LEED, with the intention to achieve LEED Certification to further contribute to sustainable building practices and environmental stewardship.
