A Little Introduction to Me

​

I'm Dr. Maia Kumari Bree Chowdhury, an advisor, architect, artist, and author. I am also a mother, Usui Reiki Master Teacher, and visionary. I hold a doctorate in Organizational Leadership (DBA), which I pursued to bring both theoretical insight and practical skill into the many areas of my work.

​

Design Thinking · Leadership · Systems Stewardship

​

I work at the intersection of architecture, governance, and long‑term decision‑making. My practice and research explore how design thinking becomes leadership practice in complex, multi‑stakeholder environments. This work is shaped by more than twenty five years of cross‑border architectural experience and by my doctoral research, From Design Thinking to Leadership.

​

MKBC Studio is where I share reflections on design literacy, stewardship, and systems‑level insight for architects, designers, and organizations navigating complexity. It is also the home for my Advisory work, which is developing alongside the launch of my new business book.
