What is your background?

I grew up in India and earned my Bachelor of Architecture there before moving to Oklahoma for graduate school. I graduated in 2025 from the University of Oklahoma with a Master’s in Interior Design. My passion is designing sustainable, people-centered spaces.

Why did you get into this profession?

When I studied architecture, I realized what excited me most was not just the buildings themselves, but how people actually feel in a space. That’s what led me to interior design, I love creating places that really support people and bring ideas to life.

What is your favorite project?

My favorite project so far has been the Solar Decathlon Transitional Housing design. It combined sustainable construction with human-centered design, and I really enjoyed working with a team on a project that could make a difference in the community.

What is a Fun Fact About You?

A fun fact about me is that I love painting. I am usually working on a new canvas in my free time. It is my favorite way to unwind and be creative outside of design. I have been experimenting with acrylics lately and hope to build a collection of my own work over time.

Who is one of your heroes?

One of my heroes is Charles Correa. I really admire how he could design something modern but still make it feel rooted in people’s culture and everyday life. His work always feels meaningful, not just beautiful.
