About 

Hello, I'm John Sanchez, an architectural and interior designer with a passion for crafting exceptional hospitality spaces. Born in Queens, New York, and proudly Colombian, I have dedicated seven years to the art of design. My journey has taken me through various facets of the design process, from creating construction documents and concept development to meticulously selecting materials.

I thrive on collaboration, and some of my most memorable projects include designing luxurious hotel suites that transport guests to a world of elegance, creating restaurant interiors that blend culture and cuisine seamlessly, and collaborating with teams to bring visionary concepts to life in spaces that inspire and captivate.
