Speakers:

Katarina Ollikainen, Product Planner, Vectorworks



Katarina is the Landmark Product Planner at Vectorworks and in her role, on top of playing Vectorworks, she’s pursuing the work on improving the connectivity between environmental design and BIM implementation for the software. The main focus is on collaboration and workflows – how can we support the focus on sustainability from the beginning? How can we exchange information in the most effective way with all parties involved, and how can we use all this when we communicate with clients? Katarina previously worked as Senior Designer for Ann-Marie Powell Studio.
During this time, she had the opportunity to develop the studios workflow and to introduce new ways of working with, and sharing, data in
the design process. Her interest in systematic approaches to problems and workflows stems from an earlier
life where she developed and wrote manuals for parachute equipment.

Katarina Ollikainen was joined by The Director of PlantPartner for this webinar.
