Listening to land, designing for life.

— Origins

I grew up in India, where streets were always alive — layered with colour, movement, people, weather, food, and stories. It was my first lesson in how spaces shape everyday life. I began my journey in architecture at PMCA, drawn to the idea that design could quietly improve how people feel, gather, pause, and belong. That curiosity eventually led me to landscape architecture at Deakin.

Over the past several years, I've worked across India, Australia, and the United States — from dense urban environments to residential landscapes and design-build projects. Each place changed the way I see land, climate, materials, and people. Moving between hemispheres meant relearning seasons, plants, construction methods, and even the rhythms of outdoor life. It taught me that good landscape design is never universal — it grows from context.

Now based in Melbourne, I approach design with a balance of structure and softness: spaces that are grounded, climate-responsive, and deeply human. I'm interested in landscapes that age well, invite everyday rituals, and feel connected to their surroundings.

— Beyond the studio

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time exploring landscapes in a different way — through travel, camping, hiking, and discovering local cultures and cuisines. I'm drawn to places that feel authentic and lived-in, whether it's a quiet trail, a busy street market, or a small neighbourhood café. Yoga and meditation keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of stillness, rhythm, and sensory awareness — qualities I often try to bring into my design approach.

For me, landscape architecture is less about imposing an idea onto land, and more about listening closely enough to reveal what already wants to belong there.
