As an award-winning architect and Managing Principal at MG2 in Irvine, CA, Meghana Joshi is passionate about Affordable Housing and Senior Living projects. Not only is she adorned with prestigious awards, including SAGE Gold, PCBC Gold Nugget, SoCal, Argentum, and NAHB accolades, but her unwavering commitment to advancing Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Justice in architecture is evident throughout her work.

Currently, her leadership extends to her role as Vice-President at AIA Orange County.
