Marina is a registered architect in Illinois and Wisconsin and has 15 plus years of experience in architecture and interior design.  She graduated from Texas Tech University with both a Bachelor of Science and Master of Architecture. In 2015 Marina became a registered architect, and in 2018 she joined Dimension IV-Madison as a Project Architect. Marina’s project role is all-encompassing, with her previous experience in urban planning, hospitality, commercial, mixed-use and restaurant design. She oversees projects from beginning to end, and actively engages in every stage of the process from conceptual design through construction completion.

Marina credits her hometown of Saint-Petersburg, Russia for her passion in architecture and design, a city with abundant daily inspiration for world renown architecture, art, music, and literature. Though she wasn’t looking to pursue architecture growing up, she quickly became enamored with the challenging, engaging, and thought-provoking process. She wanted to be a part of the creative world, with artistic expression and creativity coming naturally, interior design and architecture was the niche she had been looking for.

In her free time Marina takes her work home, literally, as she perfects her ongoing home improvement projects. She also enjoys experimenting with new culinary recipes, being active outdoors, and jet-setting around the world.
