Radhika Patel

Ecological Designer | Systems Thinker | Environmental planner

I am a sustainability-driven designer and strategist with a Master of Science in Sustainable Environmental Systems from Pratt Institute, New York. With a foundation in spatial design and environmental planning, my work explores the intersection of ecology, human well-being, and design resilience.

My design approach is centered on crafting breathable, regenerative, and self-sustaining spaces—spaces that work in harmony with their natural context rather than against it. I believe that every built environment has the potential to become a living system—one that not only consumes less but gives back to its surroundings.

This philosophy has shaped my interest in nature-based solutions, green infrastructure, and holistic environmental planning. Whether I’m mapping a mangrove ecosystem or reimagining a residential apartment, I seek to integrate design with climate adaptability, material honesty, and long-term sustainability.
