Czarina Allanigue looks fairly young but is fairly old in the business. She graduated Bachelors of Fine Arts Major in Interior Design from the College of the Holy Spirit and since being licensed has been practicing interior design for a little more than fifteen years. Achie, as she is fondly called by friends loves the practice. She loves the challenge and the dynamics of being a woman interior designer and is the type that would never succumb to the stress of the practice. Having started with high pressure projects that entailed her traveling all over the country, she has been honed by time. Traveling, she admits, is one of the perks that she really looks forward to as an interior designer. It allows her to learn from other cultures and inspires her to think and dream of new things. "My first dream project is to design and build a Christian Cathedral in Filipino- Asian design, where indigenous materials are uniquely used and displayed. The location will be in Tagaytay, over-looking Taal lake. This is my way of thanking the good Lord for the peace and inspiration that He continuously and graciously gives me," Achie shares. "My second dream project is a convention center hotel-type where two Asian cultures, Filipino and Moorish, merge to produce modern and yet a very exotic feel, again using materials that are indigenous to both cultures," she adds.
