Right before embarking on my postgraduate journey, I honed my skills as a junior Architect at Verve Group, Bangalore, an award-winning firm helmed by none other than my parents, Ar. Nagaraj & Ar. Pranoti. They're not just parents, but seasoned Architects & Planners from the esteemed School of Planning and Architecture in Delhi, India.

During my professional design phase, I had the privilege of interning at CCBA Designs Pvt Ltd, Pune, India in 2018, guided by the esteemed American-Indian Architect Professor Christopher Charles Benninger. My learning journey also took me to Education Design International, a trailblazing architectural and consulting firm specializing in avant-garde campuses & educational facilities. This firm is the brainchild of a collaboration between Fielding International, USA, and DSP Design Associates, India.

Growing up in a home echoing with architectural discussions, my passion for art and architecture was ignited early on. By the tender age of 8, my elder sister Rutusha Nagaraj and I held our own exclusive Art Exhibition "Expressions" in Bangalore, with all proceeds directed towards charity. The esteemed film and theater personality, Smt Arundhati Nag, a Padma Shri awardee, even inaugurated it. Much of my artwork draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of Indian culture & the beauty of nature. And I'm humbled to have received several international and national accolades in both Art and Architecture.
