About me
I hail from the southern part of India. The artistic genes I have inherited, come from my father, Late Mr Joseph whom I would ever so keenly observe at work. Even before I learnt the alphabet, I picked up colours, shapes and forms. During my school and college days, I have won many recognitions and awards.
Post my graduation in architecture, I worked with Ar. Samar Ramachandra for a year and later joined Maestro School of Planning and Architecture as Asst Professor. In 2016, I was chosen as a core team member for tech product design and service at ofbusiness.com, a start-up company by a team of IITians and severed as the Product Manager for almost 2 years.
Currently, I teamed up with few like-minded associates at SRI Labs and co-founded a Design and Fabrication enterprise under the banner of Inarch Studio. We deal with architectural projects, Furniture and product design and also conduct workshops.
We were recently invited to exhibit our works at India's largest MakerFaire, Hyderabad and was appreciated by Innovator Sonam Wangchuk.

I am currently experimenting myself in the field of computational design and digital fabrication. The quality of research exposure is evident from FabLab's resources, collaborations and curriculum.
Through the FabAcademy programme, I look forward to inculcating myself with brand new ideas and study all other facets of design and make culture that I have not been able to explore in my professional competence. It will allow me to acquire and further the necessary skills, along with providing me with the platform to research the vast extent of designing.
I am positive that I will fulfil my responsibilities towards society and the environment as a designer while eventually devolving my experiences and knowledge to better shape the future.
