Text and Podcast Interview by: Jack Baldwin of Reynard Architectural Designs

I was first drawn to a conversation with Farah Naz Ahmad because of her passion for sustainability as well as her impressive participation in the architecture, built environment, energy and local government communities.

I had the privilege to interview Farah and record our conversation for an episode of By Design. We discussed her career, inspiration, and what's she doing on behalf of sustainability in the world of architecture.In her pursuit of her mission, Farah has already cultivated an impressive resume at a young age.

Today, she does meaningful work at the local government level in New York and advocates for green initiatives in architectural building codes.She is a well-published and gifted architect who cares deeply about improving her community, developing renewable energy, and green building initiatives.
