Ani joined 56three Architects in March 2026 after graduating from Cardiff University with a BoS in Architecture.

Ani’s academic and professional journey is shaped by a strong interest in urban regeneration, technical design, and sustainable construction. During her final year at Cardiff University, she explored glulam medium-rise construction and public space reactivation, developing proposals that responded to density, environmental performance, and community needs.

With previous experience as a CAD and Development Technician, Ani brings a highly analytical approach to real-world design challenges. She has produced over 55 technical drawing packages and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to enhance product performance, strengthening her technical proficiency, problem-solving, and collaborative skills.

Ani remains actively engaged with contemporary urban discourse through independent study, drawing insight from platforms such as The Funambulist and RIBA Academy. These influences inform her approach, grounded in spatial justice, environmental resilience, and inclusive design.
