Khush Aamdeed~
This is an archive of my projects in architecture and design strategy, alongside some dabbles in writing. These are works that have taught me, challenged me and brought me great joy at different points of my life.
I'm trained as an architect, currently working as a design strategist and managing multiple architectural projects in New York City. I work for a non-profit organization, helping them design and build free, world-class schools in underserved communities.
I have extensive experience working in exciting multidisciplinary and cross-functional teams, using a range of methods, techniques and tools.
While the end results may differ, design processes across mediums share the same crux—leading with empathy, contextual understanding and creativity.
My roles and skills are ever-evolving; what remains steadfast is the crux.

This section is a (perpetual) work in progress.
