Hi, I’m Dyuthi.
I’m a designer and mentor who helps international students make confident, well-informed decisions about studying and building a life in the United States.
I earned my Master’s in Architecture from the Boston Architectural College in 2020, and I understand firsthand how overwhelming the process can feel — from choosing the right university and program to figuring out housing, internships, and long-term career pathways.
Through one-on-one mentorship, I support students with:
Narrowing down universities and courses that align with their goals
Understanding realistic career and internship opportunities
Navigating housing options and relocation logistics
Building clarity and confidence around the decision to move to the U.S.
My approach is practical, honest, and grounded in lived experience. Rather than pushing a single “right” path, I help students evaluate their options clearly so they can make decisions that feel aligned — academically, professionally, and personally.
Ideal mentees:
Prospective undergraduate or graduate students, recent graduates, and international students exploring education and career opportunities in the U.S. who want clarity, reassurance, and a trusted perspective before making a major move.
If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed by choices, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence.

— Gautham Krishna Chakkalaparambil Sajeev (Topmate)You were very helpful regarding the expectations of an international architect who wants to start a career in the US. I felt comfortable asking about your experience and telling you about my goals and dreams. In the end left the meeting with lots to think about and a better insight of what it means to become a US architect. Thank you for your time and wisdom!!
