Hey! I'm  Swathi Vandkar

Also, here’s a short introduction before the serious stuff begins

I was trained to design buildings, but I’m more interested in designing impact.

​

I think cities are emotional organisms. They remember what we do to them. Every material choice, every ignored footprint, every shortcut leaves a mark, and I’ve always been curious about those marks we don’t immediately see.

​

My journey began in architecture and wandered deliberately into sustainability, where questions matter more than quick answers. I’m drawn to the in-between spaces: where design meets ethics, where ambition meets responsibility, where growth doesn’t have to mean damage.

​

I work best with curiosity, quiet persistence, and an unreasonable belief that we can do better, without making it boring. I care about systems that last, stories that feel honest, and solutions that don’t just look good on paper but hold up in the real world.

This portfolio isn’t a highlight reel.
It’s a trail of thoughts, experiments, and convictions—proof that sustainability can be bold, human, and a little rebellious.
