I’m an architect who has experienced the built world both as an abled person and later as a wheelchair user. That shift changed how I understand design. I started noticing the small things that make life easier, and the small barriers that quietly hold people back.

That perspective is what brings me to Ashtavakra Accessibility Solutions. I’m joining because I believe accessibility is ultimately about dignity and equal participation, not just compliance. When a space feels natural and welcoming for everyone, that’s when design truly works.

By being a part of Ashtavakra Accessibility Solutions, I hope to contribute to environments that offer a better, more accessible, and more dignified life for all whoever they are and however they move through the world.
