LAUREN H.

CARLA A.

DESIGN LIAISON

Carla was born and raised in Venezuela before moving to Florida at the age of 15. One of Carla's earliest memories is being on her family's construction endeavors - she remembers loving the smell of freshly poured concrete at the job site. Growing up seeing the construction process and the design meetings for internal finishes, her parents always encouraged her to participate. It only made sense years later when she decided to study Architecture at the University of Central Florida. While studying full time, she had the opportunity of learning and working about the field alongside developers, designers, architects, civil engineers, drafters and almost every trade member needed in construction; she gained knowledge about the different stages of construction and development in residential and commercial projects. In her spare time, she loves traveling with her husband Chris and their pup Volk, she enjoys reading and keeping herself active through mountain biking, snowboarding, cross fit or any sport, really. She is a native Spanish speaker, English is her second tongue and currently, she is very passionate with the process of learning French.
