A career flow as narrated by Ar. Nina Korah Jacob

1973

A portfolio of sketches, and an interview got me into School of 

Architecture and Town Planning, Chennai.

1978

5 years of intense ideating, dreaming, pursuing the idea of architecture and armed with a passionate belief in making a positive difference to other peoples life, I joined Sanon Sen and Associates

 Calcutta, as an intern.

1980

Walked into Kumar Group in Kochi, joined as Architect. 

It was a steep learning curve under Ar. Gopakumar, one time 

boss and constant friend.

1984

Started Suvarnarekha Design Consultants from my guest bedroom, 

with one part-time employee and a few brave clients. This was a 

fantastic learning experience for me.

1988

Life took me to the town of Kottayam. Life was full with bringing 

up 2 beautiful children and building a house on a hill, 

while running my office in the basement of our home.

1994

Persuaded by Jabeen Zacharias to join School of Design Kottayam

 as a teacher. Another learning curve and an opportunity to give back

 to society.

Summing up, to quote Maya Lim: “Even though I build buildings and I pursue my Architecture, I pursue it as an artist, I deliberately keep a tiny office. I don’t want to be only an Architectural firm; I want to also be an artist”.
