Hi, I’m Adi (Advaita Kelkar), an M.Arch student at SCAD (Class of 2026) with a passion for art, travel, and design. My expertise spans architecture, interiors, web, and product design, with a strong focus on innovation through computational design and AI. From managing on-site construction to engaging in design research, prototyping, and technology-driven approaches, I strive to create impactful and meaningful solutions.
I am a Master of Architecture student actively seeking internships and employment opportunities in architecture and construction, fields I am deeply passionate about. I’m eager to connect with mentors and professionals who can guide me in my journey.
