Dil Phagami

Tell us something about you that not many people know.
Aside from running marathons and accumulating a lot of running shoes, I have recently acted in a short movie.
Where and what did you study to get yourself where you are today?
I went all over the country, started my undergrad at Liverpool John Moores, did my masters at Oxford Brookes and finished my Part 3 at Kingston.
Where have you worked previously?
I worked at MGMA Architects in Liverpool for 3 months during my Part 1 studies. After finishing Part 1, I worked at MorseWebb Architects in Berkshire for a year. I joined BBF Fielding Architects in Woking as a Part 2 Architectural Assistant and worked there for around 4 and half years.
What is your favourite building? (It can be anywhere in the universe)
I recently visited Casa Batllo by Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona and I loved it. Creative piece of work that was ahead of its time.
How long have you been working in this industry / how long have you worked at MELLP?
I have been in the industry since finishing my Part 1 in 2014 but I have been on and off because of my studies and I have been part of Mitchell Evans since 2022.
What do you want to be when you grow up / what did the ‘6 year old’ you want to be when you grew up?
Not sure about 6 years old but when I was a kid I always wanted to be in the Gurkha army like my dad and grandad.
