Meet Our

Designer

Ashish is a creative thinker and problem solver, and is passionate about creating designs and workflows that instinctively appeal to the human brain.

After finishing his Masters in Architecture from SUNY Buffalo, he worked at a few DC/VA based architecture firms doing projects ranging from Potomac Mills mall and local churches to government buildings and high-end residential homes. It was during this phase that he fell in love with technology, leading him to explore the technology field. This resulted in leadership roles at several software companies, most recent as a tech executive, managing a 20 million dollar budget for a fintech unicorn in DC.

While he pursued his interests in the technology field, he kept his passion alive for architecture by doing independent design work, and helping his friends and family navigate their home remodeling projects. Over the years, it became obvious that there is a real need for professional design help for homeowners, all without breaking the bank. That’s when RARA Designz was born.

Currently, we offer whole house remodeling design services (basement/kitchen/bath) including house extensions, additions and exterior spaces such as decks, patios, sunrooms and landscaping. We provide design consultations using aids such as 3D visualization, sketches and rendering. We also provide services including drafting, permit drawings, zoning analysis and U&O permit support.

Had an excellent experience working with Ashish. He helped walk me through the process, answered my many questions, made adjustments as needed, and delivered an excellent final product. Without him I would not have been able to complete my dream deck. Thanks!

Over the past two months, my husband and I have engaged in a collaborative partnership with Ashish of RARADesignz, resulting in an exceptionally positive experience. When choosing an architect for our project, we requested a meeting with Ashish, and by the conclusion of that meeting, we were confident that he would be an excellent fit. Ashish demonstrated a keen attentiveness to our requirements and provided valuable insights to enhance our project. He has consistently showcased a high level of responsiveness, promptly attending to our inquiries and requests.
