About Me
Hello! My name is Carlos Romero. I have finished my four years in the Bachelor of Interior Design program at Algonquin College. I am a curious and resourceful person that is interested in the environment, art, and technology.
I am working towards establishing a design-build business with my sister who is a working carpenter and a graduate of the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery program at Algonquin College. Starting off in residential design, we will be starting small and gradually scaling our projects - hopefully, we will get to expand into commercial design as we continue to grow.
Throughout my design career, I would like to experience different parts of design, like residential design, commercial design, or furniture design.
