Smarta Khobragade

I am a Landscape Architect passionate about creating public spaces that prioritize social and environmental sustainability. With a Master of Landscape Architecture (from Australia) and a Bachelor of Architecture (from India), I bring in several years of experience in the design and construction industry spanning over the Australian as well as Indian markets. In my current role, I specialize in designing unique landscapes and playgrounds, carefully reviewing project briefs and budgets to develop thoughtful and practical solutions. I manage multiple projects from concept to completion, ensuring they adhere to Australian Playground Standards while maintaining high-quality design and technical precision. My approach seamlessly blends creativity with practicality, allowing me to bring ideas to life with both artistry and accuracy. With strong communication, teamwork, and time management skills, I thrive in dynamic environments, delivering projects that enhance public spaces and community experiences.
