Tanvi Shah, Associate

Tanvi grew up in New Orleans and has since made San Francisco her home. Shaped by Louisiana’s diverse water systems and rich, complex history, she developed a deep curiosity about people and the social, environmental, and historical contexts that influence communities. This perspective guided her studies at Tulane University, the University of New Orleans, and Louisiana State University, as well as her work with educational and environmental non-profits.

At RHAA, Tanvi draws on her skills in research, writing, real estate, and GIS to support a wide range of projects, including public spaces, water and wastewater infrastructure, local and national parks, educational and tech campuses, and multi-family residential developments. She is passionate about building strong, collaborative relationships with design partners and clients. Outside of work, Tanvi enjoys exploring both the natural and historical landscapes of her surroundings.
