ABOUT ME!
Welcome to my portfolio! I’m Ankita, an Interior Architect passionate about designing spaces where aesthetics, function, and sustainability come together effortlessly. With a focus on spatial planning, material innovation, and humancentered design, I aim to craft environments that enhance well-being and leave a lasting impression.
I recently earned my Master’s in Interior Architecture from Arizona State University, building on a Diploma in Interior Design from INIFD Mumbai. My professional experience at D’CAD Studio strengthened my expertise in conceptual design, site execution, and client collaboration. I bring a balanced approach to design—proficient in AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, 3Ds Max, SketchUp, and Adobe Suite—combining technical precision with artistic sensitivity.
To me, impactful design isn’t just seen—it’s felt. Thank you for exploring my work. Let’s connect and create something meaningful together.

THE STAIR MOMENT
ASU PROJECT BASED ON ADAPTIVE REUSE
INSTRUCTOR: JOSE BERNARDI
The Monroe Abbey is reimagined as a beacon of opportunity rooted in urban gardening and entrepreneurship.
It offers training in rooftop and sustainable gardening alongside startup support for local initiatives.
The design fosters community connection through shared learning, cultivation, and collaboration.
Historic preservation meets future growth—where seeds of knowledge and opportunity take root.
Monroe Abbey is a historic Gothic Revival church located in Montreal, originally built in 1891 as part of the Erskine and American United Church. Severely damaged by fire in 1987, only the limestone façade and portions of the outer shell remain. Despite its ruin, the structure stands as a cherished heritage landmark and a symbol of resilience in Montreal’s urban fabric.
DESIGN TRIAL & ERRORS
The bridging concept evolved as the vertical shaft initially disrupted the courtyard’s openness. Moving it off-center or inside the north building still felt intrusive, and bridges appeared massive. Finally, we connected the east balcony to the extended north balconies, preserving the courtyard’s openness and historic character.
