Back to original languageAbout Karla
International Design Architect — from concept to execution plans
Trained at The Bartlett UCL (London), with five years of experience in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Mexico, I develop residential, civic, and cultural projects throughout the entire process: from sketches, preliminary design (APS), detailed design (APD), to construction documents (DCE).
This continuity — from idea to execution — allows me to maintain project coherence at every stage, without any break between design and technical implementation. My training at The Bartlett, focused on sustainable rehabilitation and historic urban environments, informs a technical approach that is attentive to context and ecological issues.
Proficient in AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, and the Adobe Suite, I integrate easily into multidisciplinary teams — agencies, design offices, project owners — for a specific mission or long-term project support.
Active SIRET, immediate invoicing.
