👋

Hi, 🏻 I’m Shaheen.

I am an experienced architect and interior designer with a Masters in Interior Design and a Bachelor’s in Architecture. With over four years of professional experience, I have had the privilege of working with esteemed firms such as DSK Architects in Boston and the Facilities Planning Department at Illinois State University.

Originally from India, I honed my skills at Livspace, India’s largest interior design firm. My unique strength lies in my ability to contribute effectively to both interior design and architecture.

I am currently seeking full-time opportunities where I can leverage my diverse expertise to create innovative and functional spaces.
