About 

I am an architect with 4 years of experience in marketing and communications within the architecture and digital sector. 

My expertise includes creating marketing strategy, communication and digital consultancy for several architecture studios and companies. Also, I have developed marketing and project management plans and an online shop for Altrim Publishers, an international architectural publisher. When working for VVA Arquitectura and Architecture Weekend, I successfully established an online presence, which resulted in the creation of new leads for both companies. 

Since the beginning of my professional career, I felt passionate about sharing the stories of the design projects and people that strike my interest. Once I started studying architecture, I became the go-to-person to give feedback on how to improve designs and presentations. Later on, I started a personal blog and began to share amazing architecture stories, both in English and Spanish. Since then I knew my professional path was one of communication. 

Now, I have now been working for 4 years sharing architecture stories in a manner that closes the gap between professionals and customers. Studying my Masters in International Marketing, I am taking my passion to the next level.
