Soundarya Shinde

My background bridges architecture and landscape architecture, with a strong focus on urban design, public realm projects, and large-scale infrastructure developments.

As a certified LEED Green Associate (GA), I am deeply committed to energy-conscious design and integrating sustainable, regenerative site planning principles into all my environments. Having recently relocated from India, I am excited to bring this passion to my work here in Aotearoa.

My professional experience spans the end-to-end technical delivery of complex, high-profile environments, including the globally renowned Trojena NEOM development, a 1.5km lakefront promenade, major bridge crossings, and international botanical gardens. A significant area of my expertise lies in technical documentation, 3D modelling, and multidisciplinary BIM management. I specialise in coordination using Revit, Civil 3D, and Navisworks to ensure seamless integration across different design disciplines.

At Boffa Miskell, I am focusing on urban design and public open spaces. I look forward to leveraging my background in BIM to help deliver highly coordinated, sustainable design solutions for complex streetscapes and transit-oriented public realms.
