About

Urban Designer & Architect

IMG_1535_edited.jpg

Hi, I’m Aisha Shaikh, an Urban Designer and Architect based in New York City. I recently completed my Master of Science in Urban Design at Pratt Institute and bring three years of professional experience in Dubai, working on high-end residential and cultural projects.

My work focuses on creating resilient, people-centered spaces that connect urban systems with natural landscapes. I am particularly interested in integrating ecological strategies, social engagement, and playful interventions to enhance community life.

I approach every project as an opportunity to tell a story — designing environments that are functional, visually engaging, and socially meaningful. My goal is to bridge the gap between design, research, and lived experience, shaping spaces that inspire, connect, and endure.
