DESCRIPTION
As you meander through this portfolio, you will notice that I have worked in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Fine Arts. And that I am currently studying for a Masters in Landscape Architecture degree at Texas A&M University. That my undergraduate degrees in Architecture and past work experience have given me a strong interdisciplinary foundation. However, above all what I hope you would take away is that I am an artist at heart. I am an ardent admirer of nature and a firm believer in “design process.” At its core my work explores the inherent harmony between human spaces and natural environs, and how they can be an extension of each other. My craft is shaped by influences from nature herself, famous and not-so-famous art and design, extant public spaces both in the East and the West, environmental science, and health systems. And my goal is pretty simple, (or is it?): Let’s make the world a better and brighter place to live in!TRANSCRIPT

However, above all what I hope you would take away is that I am an artist at heart. I am an ardent admirer of nature and a firm believer in “design process.”
At its core my work explores the inherent harmony between human spaces and natural environs, and how they can be an exten-sion of each other. My craft is shaped by influences from nature herself, famous and not-so-famous art and design, extant public spaces both in the East and the West, environmental science, and health systems. And my goal is pretty simple, (or is it?): Let’s make the world a better and brighter place to live in!
