About 

Hi, I’m Lena, a hard-working and driven German Registered Architect with extensive experience in design, documentation, and project management across various scales and typologies - from complex multimillion-dollar commercial and public projects to custom-tailored interior-fit outs. With eight years of post-graduate experience in Architecture and Interior Design, I am eager to dedicate my broad technical skillset and design passion to a new challenge in Melbourne.
