About Me

Brief Note –

Having been born and brought up in Delhi, one feels like a child of the city, yet a citizen of the world.

Imagination forms an important part of a growing child’s world, and mine was not different. Talking to imaginary friends while at the same time playing in the neighbourhood, looking through the leaves of the trees as they moved gently, and how the light of the sun played though them were very intriguing moments.

Observing such many a times in silence, made its way somewhere for a deep desire to express, and the school days gave opportunity to draw and sketch, even though very crudely. Listening and reading to stories was an important part of this communication. This eventually, I presume, led by the play of circumstances to me finding Architecture as my vocation which promised to be my medium – not only of expression and creation, but a medium of finding myself.

Design of spaces, is a meditative exercise, hidden deep between the demands of commerce, land scarcity, material verities and ever-evolving technology, and one remains a student in it. With national and international projects, it is my endeavour to uplift the lives of people all across the globe with innovative, meaningful and personalized designs. I believe, it is the triad relationship of the place (site), the client (project brief) and the architect from where the design emerges.

It appears to me that is very important for everyone to become more apt and able in experiencing and creating design, as it helps improve the quality of experiences in our day to day life. With the intention of spreading the message, one has been involved with academics at various levels – by participating in academic programmes of School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi and Sushant School of Art and Architecture, Gurgaon. We are also working on a platform called Dex-Collective , a design experience collective what would run programmes to work further in the communication, expression and experience in the design field.
