Radhika Patel

"Unleashing hidden treasures and captivating hearts, sustainable design sparks a profound connection. As a conscientious listener and creator, I am committed to crafting experiences that leave no space untouched, ensuring complete satisfaction for all."

I am a space designer and an emerging sustainability strategist located in Jersey City, New Jersey. I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Sustainable Environmental Systems at the Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. 

My ultimate goal is to play a significant role in accelerating the world's shift towards sustainable and renewable energy while reducing carbon emissions to pre-industrial levels. This has driven me to focus on spatial studies, with a particular interest in discovering passive self-sustaining interior options for humans.

This knowledge helped me open my eyes to the larger reality and ever since changed my approach to sustainability. Henceforth, my interests lie in affordable housing, social equity, clean energy, community services, environmental policies and incentives, and public welfare.
