Summary

It has been a real privilege to manage a range of projects that cut across the realms of residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors during my role as senior architect at the famous firm F6 Architects and also as a freelance architect in the capital city of Hyderabad. I have contributed to those projects, from drawing the first sketches to detailing the last phases of construction. With the support of a talented team of specialists working and learning together, I've produced sketches that mature the art ideal both in building exterior and interior design by applying CAD, rendering, and sustainable design. Apart from work, I have been an avid advocate of urban design and am currently at Sheridan College pursuing the study of more advanced topics in this field. Here, I am discovering the most valuable insights that can contribute to the design of sustainable, powerful, and integrated cities and community design, which will help with my career as an architect.

Architectural sketching, Realistic renders

  • What drives me the most is my love for formal architectural rendering, the process of sketching, and my pursuit of perfection as an architect. The process of architectural sketching gives me the opportunity to portray the quintessence of a space and translate my design concepts into flow and accuracy.
