My name is Laura Bown, I am a multilingual, strongly engaged and creative but realistic person, with a Master’s degree in architecture from the University of Leuven, Belgium. Recently I moved to New York hoping for new challenges and experiences.
Throughout my career, architecture and art have been the fields that evoked in me a great curiosity and a constant need for new discoveries. With almost five years of experience as an architect and art scenographer, common sense and distilling the fundamentals, are my tools to analyzing and answering all problems with clear logical solutions.
I hope to be able to convince you of my strengths with the portfolio and CV in attachment.
