I’m Munaz Prasla, a Houston-based Project Manager and architectural designer focused on crafting thoughtful, detail-driven spaces through a multidisciplinary approach. With over five years of experience spanning institutional, multifamily, residential, retail, warehouse, convenience store, and food service projects, I translate conceptual visions into technically precise, meticulously documented realities.
After earning my Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) from the University of Houston in 2019, I’ve consistently bridged innovative design with technical rigor—leading projects from early concept through construction administration, detailing complex construction documents, and orchestrating coordination among clients, consultants, engineers, and contractors. Today I manage 5 to 10 commercial developments at a time, each valued between $2M and $8M, and coordinate an offshore production team across an 11–12 hour time difference to keep drawings accurate and schedules on track. Running my own LLC has given me a practical understanding of how design decisions affect budgets, code compliance, and the day-to-day work of getting a project built.
Based in Houston, Texas, I’m an active ARE candidate progressing toward full architectural licensure. Outside the studio, you’ll find me designing custom furniture, exploring Houston’s biking trails, or experimenting with photography to capture compelling architectural moments.
