INTERNSHIP PORTFOLIO
Architecture to me is much more than just building and designing spaces. It allows me to explore and add a personal yet an impactful touch to the lives of living beings. The idea of expression through a space and creating an experience with attention to detailing is something that interests me. I am good at 3d modeling, rendering, sketching and architectural visualization and am keenly interested in interiors and landscaping . My strong pursuits are conceptualization and ideation, logical thinking, organization, and ability to grasp and learn. With a short time in the field, I aim to thrive in the present with a zeal to learn from the shortcomings for my future endeavors. Here’s a compilation of my past works.

I am deeply interested in exploring different art forms and have tried my hands at Tanjore painting. Tanjore painting, originating from Tamil Nadu, India, is known for its rich colors, surface richness, compact composition, and intricate gold leaf work. This traditional art form often depicts Hindu gods and goddesses, showcasing a blend of classical and vibrant artistic techniques.
