Samista has over twelve years’ experience in engineering design (in public infrastructure, commercial and industrial projects), project management and construction management in Africa.  She is currently an Associate and shareholder at Zutari, which in 2020 was ranked first in the Top 225 International Design Firm Rankings for Africa by ENR.  Samista strongly believes that for infrastructure development to be effective, designs should be human centred. Design is not a linear process, but interactive and must be developed through engagement and inclusion of environmental, economic and social aspects.
