In this episode I’ve invited Ruchika Shakya. She is 26 years old architect and interior designer residing in Kathmandu.
After graduating from Kathmandu Engineering College, she started working on one of renowned and influential firm for past two years and recently she has started doing freelance projects as well. She describes she is in the transitional phase of starting her own practice but she is patient about it. She is focusing on one project at a time and being mentally prepared for the transition which she believes she’ll execute within one more year.
The most practical thing we discussed is we need to work under someone whose work we admire and take inspiration from before we jump into starting our own thing, what that does is it gives us air cover to our mistakes and we get to learn a lot from our mentors.
Apart from that Ruchika shared a lot about her profession and the pros and cons that comes along with her profession & she is very sweet when it comes to her dogs and she can talk about them all day everyday.
I really had a good time talking to her. And I hope you guys will like her as well.
LET’S GO AND HEAR HER STORY!
