My name is Raman and I am a recent architecture graduate with a passion for designing innovative and sustainable spaces.My education has equipped me with proficiency in design software, architectural theory, construction methods, and project management.
Throughout my academic career, I have developed a keen interest in urban design, residential architecture, focusing on how thoughtful design can improve quality of life and integrate seamlessly with natural surroundings. I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, both independently and as part of a team, which have honed my problem-solving skills and creative thinking.
I am excited to embark on my professional journey, bringing my fresh perspective, enthusiasm, and dedication to creating functional, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally responsible designs. I look forward to contributing to meaningful projects and continuing to grow as an architect.
