Professional Icon: Saida Aktar Mumu

Ar. Saida Aktar Mumu
CEO of Matreek

One, or maybe even two, in my high school and at the beginning of my college life, I took a piece of paper and started drawing things that used to attract me to design big buildings. This might sound cheesy, but instead of drawing a village home- the first drawing I also did- sketching big houses. And later on, while studying Architecture, I found a deep relationship between these sketches and human lives, which made me to be more serious about Architecture. This is how Saida Aktar Mumu – a young architect of Matreek, was drawn to the idea of combining imagination and great collaboration to bring sketches to life. Childhood started with small drawings sketching the most spectacular establishment, Ar. Mumu has been thriving in the Architectural field of Bangladesh. She is a successful Architect who made the biggest restaurant Project Hilsa successful. As we continued our conversation, Ar. Mumu shared her journey of becoming such a young role model.
