Sarika Bajoria, Contemplative Designer

Stepping away from practice and going back to school to pursue an MBA/MPA was a challenging decision that I ultimately felt I made in isolation because I didn’t know many individuals out there who were challenging the profession way I was.

In a roundabout way, I’ve used writing and podcasting to find my community within the architecture profession.

⚡Those ready to question why we do things and ask how we can do things better.

⚡ Those looking beyond practice to see what we can learn from other industries that create new perspectives on operations and business opportunities.

⚡Those who are early adopters or inquisitive of new technologies, what’s on the horizon, and what it means for practice.

Really those interested in change, ready for changes, and the changemakers themselves.

Sarika Bajoria is a change maker, and I am so grateful she found me through my writing and reached out to connect on LinkedIn. I appreciate your support of my campaign to be the 2025 AIA National President.
