TATIANA PLAVANS LICENSED ARCHITECT IN EUROPE AND
INTERIOR DESIGNER

Hello,

I am a Commercial Building and Interior Designer in Houston, TX with over thirteen years of experience in design and construction administration. I am a licensed Architect in Bulgaria, EU - currently working toward obtaining license in TX, a professional traveler, a happy wife and a blessed mom. Glad to call Texas my home, enjoying hot weather and kind local people.

I have obtained a Master's in Architecture, a diploma in painting, and continue to attend professional training programs and workshops today. I believe to be deeply knowledgeable with building regulations, human ergonomics, and up-to-date standards. My project site locations include USA, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Mexico, Bulgaria, and Moldova. Speaking over six languages helps me use multiple information resources and find a better understanding with multicultural subcontractors on sites.

Care about natural environment has always been my concern. I am green and eco-friendly designer. Along with waste recycling at home and at work, volunteering and using reclaimed materials, I encourage my clients try Sustainable Design, Interior, Furniture and Landscape Designs, which also can save you money.

I have produced projects from a sketched idea to construction administration for up to a value of $40 000 000. I am confident in my work, because I pay close attention to detail and am eager to learn from others.
