			Carin Friedman Carin Friedman was born in Denver but spent her teenage and college years in Virginia and the suburbs of Washington DC. Eventually she made the move to the west coast, spending time in San Francisco and then settling in Los Angeles, California. Growing up with a passion for art and creative expression, Carin also excelled at academics. At the urging of a favorite high school teacher, she turned her focus to architecture which combined several areas of her interest. She earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Architecture at the University of Virginia. While there, she studied under the “Green Dean” William McDonough, who helped instill an early focus on environmentally conscious architecture. At the same time, her appreciation of art developed into a second major, giving her an additional Bachelor’s of Art in Art History.
	As a registered architect, Carin has worked on a great variety of project types. She has applied both design and technical skills to large scale mixed use master plans, hospitality architecture and interiors, workplace interiors, entertainment venues, retail spaces, car dealerships, airport facilities, and residential architecture. Along with her architectural work, she spends her time developing her interests in photography, graphic design, painting, and cooking. Her work is thoughtful, graphic, and focused on environmentally responsible design.
