She had the opportunity to work on a range of challenging projects and develop solutions through innovation, practicality, and viable design philosophies interwoven with simplicity and sustainability while solving the fundamental functional requirements. Her work with a diverse group of clients also made her understand the importance of building and nurturing client-consultant relationships. Her work at Inspiration with a multidisciplinary team of Architects, Project Managers,  Engineers, Designers, Horticulturists, trained artisans and artists – all under one roof gave her a holistic exposure to the intricacies of the planning and implementation phases of Architecture. Her extensive on-site experiences gave her a knowledge of construction, project management and a sense of how various materials, shapes, shadows, and light imbibed a greater sense of space to someone experiencing it.
