Nihar Pathak

Hi there! I’m Nihar, a coffee-loving designer with a sustainable twist. With a bachelor’s in architecture, a master’s in sustainable design, and currently pursuing a PhD in architecture-engineering-construction management, I’m all about blending the creative and the eco-conscious. From residential homes to towering warehouses, I’ve rolled up my sleeves as an architectural designer and sustainability associate, advocating for net zero designs wherever I go.

When I’m not crafting the next blueprint or lecturing grad students on indoor environmental quality, you will find me diving into the world of bio-based materials and their life cycle assessments, aiming to build a greener future (one carbon-neutral brick at a time!).

Oh, and did I mention I’m also the vice president of finance for the graduate student body? So, if there’s anything I know as well as design and sustainability, it’s keeping budgets balanced.

Outside the architectural world, you’ll catch me with a manga in one hand, an anime episode on repeat, and an apron on, baking up savory treats in the kitchen. Life’s a mix of creativity, science, and a whole lot of flavor—just how I like it!
