Originally born in Pakistan, Umber moved to the United States in 1988. Traveling with her family she lived in several cities throughout Pakistan until early 1988 when Umber and her family relocated to the suburbs of Chicago. While attending school at the Illinois Institute of Technology (¡¯94) and the University of Illinois at Chicago (¡¯95), Umber worked for several architectural offices in Chicago to help pay for school. |
| In 1996 she transferred to
the university of Illinois at Champaign Urbana to receive her BSAS in
architecture. To help pay for school she worked at Henneman
Raufiesan & Associates in Champaign until she graduated in 1998.
After graduation she returned to the Chicago suburbs where she was offered
the position as Intern designer at RSI International
Inc.
Early in 1999, Umber headed west to California to attend Graduate School. In the process she was offered the position of Design Architect at Murray & Downs Architects in Placerville, CA. Instead of attending Graduate School, Umber took the job and is now one of two designers for M & D Architects. Two of her most recent projects can be seen here. Several of Umber¡¯s projects have been displayed in local newspapers including the renderings for New Yuba City Elementary School shown below. The work presented here are copies that were made from Umber¡¯s
personal portfolio and represent the type of projects that she works on at
Murray & Downs as well as on her own time |
