Hello! I’m Adi (Advaita Kelkar), a Master of Architecture student at SCAD, Savannah College of Art and Design, and an architect and designer from Mumbai, India. Passionate about blending craftsmanship with modern innovation, I have experience in architecture, interior design, exhibitions, and product development. Whether managing on-site construction or engaging in design research, prototyping, and tech-driven approaches, I aim to create meaningful and lasting impacts through every project I undertake.

I am a Master of Architecture student currently seeking opportunities for internships and employment in architecture and construction, a field I am truly passionate about. I am eager to connect with individuals who can guide and mentor me on this journey. Through my academic program, I am acquiring new techniques and skills, and I am enthusiastic about gaining practical, hands-on experience to deepen my understanding of on-site processes. I would greatly appreciate any opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully.

My journey in architecture and design began in 2018 at Studio Eighttwentythree, where I worked under the mentorship of Samir Raut, Faizan Khatri, and Siddhesh Kadam. Their guidance and meticulous attention to detail gave me a strong foundation in the design process. As the sole employee for a long time, I gained hands-on experience managing projects from inception to completion.
I further developed my skills in visualization, project management, and team coordination at Faizan Khatri Design Workshop, a unique space that also served as an animal welfare center, caring for rescue cats and dogs.
In 2024, I transitioned into freelancing, successfully completing several artistic projects. A career highlight was exhibiting my work at the Indian Art Fair in Mumbai alongside my friend Nayan Mote, presenting my evolving style and creativity to a broader audience.
