Born and raised in Karachi, the largest city in Pakistan, Arham was always captivated by the interplay of form, function, and culture in the urban context. Relocating to Chicago during his high school years further fueled this fascination and Arham went on to graduate with a Master of Architecture degree from Illinois Institute of Technology. For Arham, there is nothing more gratifying than witnessing an idea transform from paper to a tangible reality and observing how people engage with it. In his free time, Arham enjoys listening to and playing music, watching Chicago sports teams, true crime podcasts, and trying out new restaurants with his “foodie” wife from her pages long “must-try restaurants” list.

Arham taught himself how to play the drums.
