Deepak Patankar is a distinguished architect with a diverse background and a deep passion for design. Raised in New Delhi, India, Deepak developed an early fascination with collecting and understanding the intricacies of design and construction. This curiosity was further ignited by an inspiring instructor who guided him towards a career in architecture.

Deepak earned his Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee before pursuing a Master’s in Architecture from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Upon graduating, he moved to the Bay Area and began his professional journey at a small firm led by an Urbana- Champaign alumnus.

With almost fifteen years of experience at this firm and its subsequent offshoot, Deepak honed his skills in both large-scale retail projects and smaller commercial and residential works. His commitment to his own firm led him to support the early development of Evoco Architecture | Interiors, founded by his wife, Seana. Once he felt confident in the new venture, he transitioned to working full-time with Evoco, where he continues to drive innovative design solutions.

In addition to his professional accomplishments, and volunteering his time on the Code Advisory Committee at the City of San Francisco, Deepak enjoys capturing the beauty of his daily morning walks with his dog Milo. He shares these moments on his Instagram account, where his photography reflects his keen eye for detail and appreciation for everyday aesthetics.
