Caren Adhiambo Opondo

Dear Interested Client,

My name is Caren Adhiambo Opondo - a registered and practising architect.
I have over 12 years of experience as a qualified architect. I am eager to bring my wealth of experience to our engagement.

In my previous role at Thomas Gronlykke Studio in Nairobi, Kenya, I successfully led planning and design initiatives for a Healthcare project while coordinating with a mix of local and international teams. This was under direction of the firm’s lead architect. Currently as a freelance architect, I am able to leverage digital collaboration tools like Zoom, Google Meet and WhatsApp to coordinate remotely with clients if we can't meet in person.

As my general philosophy:
Good design should support your daily life, not complicate it. I design around how people actually live and work, so the space feels comfortable, practical, and easy to use.

What has always stood out from my interaction with clients is that:
Clients often know what they want to feel but may not know how to explain it. I help turn those ideas into a design that makes sense and works well.

How I do it:
I am able to focus on how the plan is laid out, the flow, and how usable the space is first, so the place works properly before we focus on finishes and style.

My technical expertise, detailed in my CV includes ArchiCAD, Lumion and Adobe Creative Suite. I am eager to bring my expertise in creating detailed, permit – ready construction documents and 3D renderings to your project.

I have attached my resume and portfolio for your review. I look forward to engaging with you further.

Sincerely,

Caren Adhiambo.
