Hello!My name is Mahima Patel (she/her, 24 years old) and I am a recent graduate from the University of Toronto, Master of Urban Design program. My passion in design revolves around creative placemaking and public space activation. I am a Canadian citizen and spent my early childhood in Toronto but was raised in India, where I did most of my primary and secondary education. I have a background in architecture which further expanded into Urban Design. This multicultural background has deeply influenced my design approach, providing a unique edge through the lens of diverse cultural experiences which have fueled my dedication for architecture, design, and research.
