Hello! I’m Criselle Barquilla, a multidisciplinary architect and designer who thrives on turning bold concepts into practical, beautiful spaces. I lead design efforts from initial concept through construction, coordinating cross-functional teams, consultants and clients to deliver high-quality results on time and within budget. I enjoy translating complex briefs into clear, deliverable plans and enduring design solutions that stand the test of sustainability and user experience. I’ve worked on local and remote projects, including Australia-based assignments, and I’m fluent in coordinating design workflows, BIM processes, and client communications to keep everyone aligned. I’m passionate about mentorship, continuous learning, and creating spaces that reflect context, culture, and function while pushing creative boundaries. My recent role is STR Focused especially in the North Caroliina area.
