Meet Yash

I am Yash Chitale -poet, coach, architect, designer, and entrepreneur. In my work, I strive to bring the gifts from all these narratives that have shaped me to help and support those who cross my path. I inhabit two worlds – physically I work as an architect in San Francisco, live in Millbrae, California with my husband and two kids and spiritually, I lean into my metropolitan upbringing from Mumbai, India
As a creative soul – poetry, design, conversations, people, their worlds and being present in their journey resonates with my way of being. I am on this path, where all streams merge to create an ocean of wisdom and value.
Our legacy is like footprints on sand, only to be erased by the next wave….and yet there is joy in walking alongside each other.

In the open palm of my hands,
I see my Life’s appraisal
Palm full of faith in
the Almighty’s miracles
Palm full of love for
those who matter most
Palm full of selfcare for
my body and soul
Palm full of success in
my worldly endeavors
And only, palm full of sadness
for all that couldn’t be…
