Biography

A practicing architect for the past 3.5 years in Rawalpindi. Graduated from National College of Arts, Rawalpindi I joined few offices before starting my own office called ‘Lines and Dots’. The projects vary from Residential to corporate and commercial interior and architecture. Furthermore, I am also working on developing an online platform for the architecture and construction community of Pakistan i-e Archistan. Starting in 2022, Archistan has made a prominent name for itself. I am also hosting Pakistan’s first architecture podcast under the name ‘Let’s Talk Architecture’ by Archistan. The projects designed by me are located not only in Rawalpindi and Islamabad but also in countries like Spain, Canada, Japan and Bangladesh.

A semi civil engineer and an architect who lives the life to its fullest and work each day to bring a positive change in the society.
