About

Karmen Tan is a Registered Architect in California. Born in Guangzhou, China, she immigrated to the US at the age of eight. Karmen went on to graduate from USC with a degree in Architecture. With 15 years of experience working for corporate architectural and consulting firms, she has contributed to projects in commercial office buildings, retail spaces, multi-family residential complexes, and higher education facilities. However, Karmen finds residential architecture particularly rewarding, as she enjoys transforming ordinary everyday spaces into memorable experiences for her clients.

Growing up with her parents in a cozy 200-square-foot apartment, she recalls playing with Mah Jong pieces, a popular Chinese tile game, and using them to build elaborate mansions once her parents were finished playing. It was in this small space that she learned to make the most of what she had, sparking her love for architecture.
