Milestones that define our evolution
The formal completion of my Master's degree marks a transformative chapter in my career. From the honor of receiving my degree in the presence of Her Royal Highness to the immersive design culture of Bangkok, my time at Chula instilled a level of discipline and vision that I carry into every architectural project today.
Focused on the latest evolution of sustainable building standards, I completed a high-level workshop on LEED v5. Learning from industry leaders Nagesh Gupta, Sourabh Gupta, and Dr. Atch Sreshthaputra has provided fresh clarity and discipline that I am eager to apply to upcoming projects at Graphite.

I am honored that my design project, the Bangkok Meditation Hub, has been shortlisted for the 2025 INDESIGNLIVE DQ. Developed at Chulalongkorn University under the guidance of Professor Jenchieh Hung, the project explores the Thai concept of "Charn" to create interconnected spaces for mindfulness. This recognition by a premier Indo-Pacific design platform is a testament to the power of blending tradition with modern innovation.

Working alongside teammate Tanziha Islam, I received an Honorable Mention in this open architectural competition organized by Build Bangladesh. Our proposal for the Malibagh-based mosque focused on reviving the historical "garden" essence of the area while providing a modern, energy-efficient sanctuary. The design prioritized maximum prayer space and inclusivity for senior citizens, addressing the complex urban needs of a growing community.

I am proud to share that our team, SIN, secured a place in the top 100 of the Mujib 100 Ideas Contest.
