About 

Architecture has been part of my life since I was a child.  My dad used to carry me to his work site every weekend to show me his ability to create beautiful  spaces, and my mom, a great painter, designed a small atelier at home to create new art elements everyday, so I was influenced by an artistic atmosphere all of my life. During my five-year study in the Department of Architecture and Urbanism of University Mackenzie, I worked as an intern in several architectures offices, developing architecture and interior design projects for residential and commercial projects and learning civil works management and execution on site,  which provided me knowledge in different fields.

My hometown is a huge city full of high buildings, and the most popular job for beginning architects is refurbishing apartments or commercial places. In the same year I graduated, I was invited from a neighbor to refurbish an old apartment, and then I started my journey as an architect. Because of this job, I had opportunity to open my own architecture and interior design company in 2010.

In five years I assisted more than 50 families in my office, and I have gained practical experience and abilities that cannot be learned in classroom, and now I feel prepared to begin another step of my professional life. I decided to invest some time learning, increasing my skills and sharing my experiences with different students and professionals around the world.
