ALISHA SHAKYA - Decade of Short Selected WORK PORTFOLIOAlishaShakya7
Over the past decade, my career has been a colorful tapestry of projects, spanning everything from bustling commercial hubs to cozy residential havens, and even initiatives for the government projects in Nepal. With a deep appreciation for the little details and a drive for excellence, I've poured my heart into every venture, leaving behind a legacy of impact.
In the world of commerce, I've taken on challenges ranging from designing signature design for famous restaurants in Nepal to inviting multipurpose spaces. I've danced between functionality and beauty, infusing each project with innovative designs that not only meet but surpass expectations, creating environments that fuel success.
Venturing into multipurpose spaces has been a thrilling journey of exploration, blending practicality with adaptability. From vibrant multipurpose communal gathering spaces to versatile mixed-use apartment buildings, I've woven together strategic planning and creative flair to craft spaces that bring people together, fostering connection and unity. Functions such as Miss Nepal has been conducted in one of the spaces.
In the realm of residential projects, I've had the privilege of turning dreams into reality. Whether it's breathing new life into historic homes or shaping modern abodes, I've made it my mission to marry elegance with comfort, ensuring that each dwelling reflects the unique vision and needs of its occupants. Moreover, I have conducted renovation projects.
And when it comes to government initiatives, my commitment to public service shines through. Collaborating with stakeholders and navigating through regulations, I've contributed to projects that enhance the fabric of society, from essential civic buildings to transformative urban revitalization efforts.
Throughout this decade-long odyssey, I've embraced challenges with flexibility, ingenuity, and an unwavering dedication to excellence. Each project has been a chapter in my story, fueling my passion to create spaces that not only endure but inspire and enrich the lives of those who inhabit them.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

The design is heavily influenced by the Middle Eastern features such as the desert, tents, courtyards,
the Arabic numeral SEVEN ( 7 ) and segmented neighborhoods.
The roof of the horses’ stalls is designed as tents. Water reservoir designed as an oasis are placed in
the courtyard; where horses can go for a drink and rest under the shade.
Building designs are inspired by traditional Arabic homes. The zone designs replicate an Arabic Freej
( فريج ). However, the space planning ensured continuous pedestrian flow and kept it well shaded.
This also encourages visitors to view the entire site.
The buildings are surrounded by large
columns in the form of the SEVEN
( 7 ).
The reasoning is because the number
7 has a huge significance in Islam,
such as:
• Seven Ayat in Surat Al-Fatiha
• Seven walks between Al-Safa and
Al-Marwah
• Seven Earths and seven Heavens
Natural and earthy materials like
stone wall cladding, dark terracotta
rooftilesandwoodendoorswereused
to connect the site to the surrounding
desert.
