I'm Adi, Advaita Kelkar, a Master of Architecture student at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). I grew up in Mumbai, where I learned early to love design thinking and making things with my hands, and my work since has spanned architecture, interior design, and web design.

From Mumbai studios to the SCAD fabrication shop: the roles, teams, and projects that shaped how I work.
Fabrication Monitor ACTIVE
I help run the Foundation Studies fabrication studio: maintaining tools and equipment, keeping the shop safe, and building whatever it needs, from jigs and shop fixtures to signage, displays, and light repairs. (Part Time)
ARCHV
ARCHV is a collective I co-founded with friends, built on a simple idea: making things together matters more than money or timelines. I organize transdisciplinary projects with collaborators from across the design fields. (Part Time)
F'KD Workshop
I helped build the studio from the ground up: hiring and leading teams, mentoring junior architects, and running projects from first proposal to onsite execution. My work covered design, visualization, and project management across hospitality, public, and residential projects, often several at once. (Full Time)
Studio 823
I joined as an intern in my final year of architecture school and stayed on full time after graduation. Mentored by Samir Raut and Faizan Khatri, I worked on hospitality, commercial, research, and residential interior projects. This studio laid the foundation for everything I've done since. (Full Time)
