Tahmina Kakon
I am a registered architect in Victoria, working for more than 17 years specialising in high end residences, social housing & specialist disability accommodation projects.
It's hard not to sound clichéd, but I love to work on projects that can have positive social impact. I also find interest in seeing how cultural diversity influences architecture and contribute to shape built environment.
As an immigrant-woman-architect and as a mother, I feel
that I have restrained myself from realising my full potential as a professional. However one thing I can say with pride that I love being an architect and I love my work.
I look forward to be in a position where I will be able to contribute to create more inclusive, diverse construction industry with gender parity.
