Design Professional From Medellin, Colombia, with over a year of experience as intern Architect in U.S.A. and 4 years as Architect* (licensed in Colombia). I bring with me the capacity to adjust and respond to different environments, always with the interest of making a project design unique.
I'm assertive, genuine, investigative, and enterprising, very detail oriented without disconnecting from the big picture. I always find a way to get inspired and approach design with a more sensitive hand; I can see my artistic sensitivity through architecture since the constrains of space are the poetry of living, almost like in a film; this is why I like to curate all elements in order to enhance its context.
I'm very interested on the interdisciplinary application of architecture through conceptual design.
