From "How you think matters" to "Defining the correct metrics for success', Aeshna's speech covers 10 valuable lessons she learned by viewing the world as a desginer. Aeshna has recently graduated from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design with two masters degrees - a Master of Architecture in Urban Design and a Master of Design Studies, Ecologies ‘22 - both with distinction. She is also the recipient of two prestigious awards - the “Award for Outstanding Leadership in Urban Design” and the “Unsung Hero Prize” 2022. Apart from her professional and academic pursuits, Aeshna has broadened her outlook and perspectives through various leadership positions and extra-curricular activities. In 2020, she co-founded ‘Sahayak’ - a social impact venture focused on developing a locational strategy for skill development, aimed at tackling issues of mass migration while enabling satellite city development in India. After an extremely rich academic experience, Aeshna has recently stepped back into the world of practice, in her role as an urban designer at Sasaki (Boston).
