Professionally trained as an architect, Carina is highly proficient in architectural communication from interpreting design requests to delivering precise high quality product in a timely manner, may it be drawings, concepts or problem solving solutions. She manages projects from type V construction to filigrees as detailed as a piece of furniture. Five years of working experiences in the housing market has enabled her extensive experiences with clients, building departments and construction markets such as contractors and material manufactures.
