Bio

Hi, I’m Petrina. I’m a licensed architect, a studio owner, and someone who genuinely loves helping people grow. I earned my Bachelor of Architecture from the New York Institute of Technology and my Master’s in Environmental Design & Engineering from University College London (UCL). Those experiences shaped not only how I design, but how I teach and connect with others. I’ve always been the kind of person who puts others first.

Hi, I’m Petrina. I’m a licensed architect, a studio owner, and someone who genuinely loves helping people grow. I earned my Bachelor of Architecture from the New York Institute of Technology and my Master’s in Environmental Design & Engineering from University College London (UCL). Those experiences shaped not only how I design, but how I teach and connect with others. I’ve always been the kind of person who puts others first. It’s something people often tell me and I think that’s what naturally drew me to teaching. I love the one‑on‑one interaction, giving my full attention to someone, helping them work through a challenge, and then watching them reach a goal they didn’t think they could.

Even while running my own architecture office, teaching has stayed close to my heart. Over the years I’ve worked with complete beginners opening Sketchup or Revit for the first time, architecture students developing studio projects or preparing portfolios, applicants getting ready for job or graduate school submissions, and even experienced architects with their own firms who come to me for design refinement, 3D modeling support, or simply a fresh set of eyes. Wherever you are in your journey, I meet you there with patience, clarity, and a genuine desire to help you move forward.

I can support you with architecture software, design development, project guidance, portfolio building, academic or career advice, or simply understanding architectural ideas and systems in a way that feels approachable. My goal is always the same: to make architecture feel exciting, understandable, and achievable, and to help you feel confident in your own abilities.

If you’d like to share your goals or a project you’re working on, I’d love to hear from you.

Amazing Petrina!

I'm so lucky Petrina was able to work with me. I got so much work done with SketchUp and she was so easy to work with. I watched. I learned. I practiced. And, I felt like I could do more afterwards. I will be back to work with her! Here comes rendering!

Excellent Communication - A difficult assignment made easy!

As a 2D designer, I needed to recreate a complex home in Sketchup to enable me to enhance the design. Petrina was patient and offered great suggestions. The collaboration worked well and Patrina displayed top-notch SketchUp skills as we conquered the project.

Expert Help for SketchUp and AutoCAD, and Excellent Tutor

If you are looking for someone who is highly skilled in SketchUp and AutoCAD, you are looking at the right person. She is patient, kind, and very supportive when helping you work through challenges. Even when something seemed extremely difficult, she was able to quickly figure it out and guide me through the solution step by step. I definitely recommend her to anyone needing help with their projects.

Incredibly knowledgable and kind - an amazing teacher!

Petrina has been such an awesome tutor!! I am new to CAD and she has been so great with helping to teach me the basics, and hopefully beyond that! She is kind, patient, and super knowledgable about the software. When I ask questions, she explains things very thoroughly in a way that makes complete sense to me as a beginner. She is phenomenal and I would recommend her to anyone looking to learn CAD or hone their skills.
