Shaked Kuta

Originally from Herzliya, Israel, raised in Long Island, New York for 20 years. Born an artist in 1995, I was inspired my whole life by my father throughout his contracting career, I've inherited from him a strong behind-the-scenes understanding of architecture and a perspective of  creative strategies to engineering. In New York I got my Bachelor's Degree in Law & Society at John Jay College. I worked as a paralegal in a Matrimonial and Family Law Firm for about 4 years. Throughout the beginning of my law career I picked up a camera as a side hobby and started working as an independent freelance photographer for a wide range of different projects in fashion, entertainment, advertising, personal photoshoots, etc. I worked as a product photographer and Social Media Manager at a trendy street-casual retail store called NYC Mode in Long Island for a few months. In the beginning of year 2020 I decided to change careers completely, I was looking for a career that would be as challenging and detail oriented as law but also include an artistic and creative aspect, considering my background interest in construction I decided architecture was the best fit.  The change in career gave me the urge to move out of the United States and live in a different cultural atmosphere, so I decided to move back to Israel. It always felt like home when I would visit from The States, I really enjoyed being around my family and really felt more connected to the warm culture. I made Aliyah in February 2o20, worked as a freelance photographer and part-time English tutor.  In October 2020 I started my architectural studies at Shenkar College of Engineering, graduated in July 2023 and to my luck, began working at one of the most considerable architectural firms in the country, Yashar Architects. Today I’m excited to further explore taking on smaller-scale projects, where I can be more hands-on, creative, and directly contribute to delivering optimal results that truly satisfy every client.
