I am an Architect and Curator, who graduated with an MA in Curatorial Practice from the School of Visual Arts, New York City and a Bachelor in Architecture from Anant National University, Ahmedabad, India. My reach across various fields makes me a quick learner and empathetic towards my designs' users and the exhibitions' audience. I am very interested in the relationship between the human mind and body and the surrounding landscape. My designs and exhibitions focus on interactivity, evoking emotions and telling stories. I value diversity, inclusion, collaboration and a growth mindset. I believe in bringing value to not just my work, but uplifting and contributing to everyone else's success.
Outside work I am a serial hobbyist. I love to bake (disaster or desert there is a 50/50 chance). When I’m not designing or curating, you’ll often find me exploring art galleries, writing, hiking scenic trails, enjoying a coffee at a quaint café, or silk-screen printing, always looking for my next source of inspiration.
Currently trying to keep up with '2 books a month' goal. Some of my favourite past reads: Pachinko, God of small things, Dutch house & Human acts.
