@zeyneporakarslan

I lead international hospitality and mixed-use architectural projects from concept through delivery.

I've led hospitality, mixed-use, and international architectural projects for more than 17 years, combining design management, multidisciplinary coordination, and site delivery.

At Torkam Holding, I coordinated hotel interior design projects in Algeria, managed export and supplier processes, and served as a French-speaking project coordinator. Earlier, I contributed to the Sofitel Istanbul Taksim Hotel, Emaar Square Mall, Tripoli Congress Center, and mixed-use projects in Kiev.

I bring experience across concept design, construction documentation, permitting, licensing, MEP coordination, interior architecture, and construction site supervision. I work fluently in French and English and use AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, and MS Office.
