Ananya Pal

Ananya is driven by a passion for using data-driven insights to create innovative, equitable, and resilient solutions that better connect people and places through human-centered design. Raised across Southeast Asia and the United States, Ananya brings a global perspective to questions of urbanism and design. She is a graduate of Barnard College of Columbia University, where she studied Urban Studies, Sustainable Development, and Architecture, building a strong foundation in spatial analysis, and data-driven research. Her work focuses on how geospatial data can guide design and consulting processes, whether mapping natural and urban trends, evaluating mobility systems, or translating environmental and social metrics into actionable insights for clients and communities.

At evolveEA, Ananya is expanding her geospatial and design practice by integrating mapping, analytics, and visual storytelling into strategic planning and community-centered design which strengthen client engagement, and advance our mission. She is particularly interested in how data-driven insights can shape more innovative, equitable, and resilient solutions that connect people and places while supporting informed decision-making across the human-centered design process.
