Lena Sahlqvist graduated from HDK in 1994. She joined the industry in the middle of the Swedish recession full of inspiration and will power. Lena had already gathered significant experience from working for a number of architects and therefore did not have any problems in finding a job. She ended up with a company specialised in designing luxury yachts. The boats were inspired by different historical themes and designed with a special emphasis on visual luxury.

Today, Lena works as an interior designer for Wingårdh Architects in Gothenburg.
