Hey, my name is Shati and this is The Mighty Friend!
I am a New York City-based transportation planner, frequent flaneur, and aspiring plant lady. As a native New Yorker, I’ve always been passionate about urban systems, particularly public transit expansion and new mobility innovation.
Beyond urban planning, my interests are not too different from your average millennial. You can find me trying out the new hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the neighborhood, walking through the Met’s annual Costume Institute exhibit, or in search of a Korean language partner.
The Mighty Friend is my personal platform for sharing my work and interests. Find out more about my professional background here or check out photos from recent travels below!
Why The Mighty Friend?
The Mighty Friend is actually a misnomer! I came up with the name back in college when a friend told me that my last name, Khan, meant “mighty” (disclaimer: it does not). Combined with my first name, Shati, which actually means ‘friend’ in Bengali, we get The Mighty Friend!
