Hello there!
At Carnegie Mellon University's Integrated Innovation Institute (iii), Aman's currently pursuing his Master of Integrated Innovation for Products and Services - Advanced Study. Having begun in Fall'22, he's currently taking courses like Integrated Product Development, User Research, Human Experience in Design, and Business Core at the iii and the School of Design at CMU.
Aman holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree and graduated Summa Cum Laude from the School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal in 2020. Later that year, he co-founded The Architecture Consulate, an architecture and design studio based in India and Nepal, working in the realm of spatial and digital experience design. Alongside, he's been designing digital products at Handyland. Prior to this, he was with A+I - an award-winning architecture firm in New York.
In 2017, he was awarded the Berkeley Prize Travel Fellowship by UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design (CED), through which he got an opportunity to practice and research 'Social Design' at Arcosanti, AZ. As a designer, Aman is highly driven to explore various enclaves of social design and trigger burgeoning changes in the communities which more often than not stay under the radar of the global design community.
