I have a deep interest and knowledge in architecture and always enjoy the experience of visiting new cities and new places. I love to travel, but I am trying to reduce my "air-miles" and go by train instead, in effort to reduce my CO2-footprint. Apart from that, I love planning and building new things at our summer house, a 200-year-old cottage in the Stockholm archipelago.
My son and daughter have moved away from home to study, but we still see a lot of each other. I met my husband 30 years ago, and we have been running our architectural firm together since 2001.
Experienced Owner with a demonstrated history of working in the architecture & planning industry. Strong business development professional skilled in Urban Planning, Energy Infrastructure projects, Education/Lecturer, Comprehensive Planning, and Refurbishment.
