I am a designer that is passionate about the creation of quality spaces, able to be experienced through our human sensibilities. The creation of atmospheres through spatial relationships between the built environment and the natural one has been my focus throughout the last phase of my professional education, and is one is seek to exploit in the following years. In the future, I aim to work within a firm that values the creation of experience through design, where I can offer all the skills I have acquired and compliment these with the skills I have yet to learn.

Florida International University, Miami, FL, US, MArch, Master of Architecture
In the Master of Architecture program we developed our skills in design from micro to macro through design of small scale residential proposals into large scale master planning proposals. Both of these offering the opportunity of retail/cultural/educational integration throughout the career. Being taught through the historical growth of architecture from time period to time period, we were expected to apply new found sensibilities into each design proposal and into our final thesis project development.
FIU's digital fabrication lab plays a big role for the students, this is were we were able to learn and refine our fabrication skills through traditional model making techniques as well as new 3D printing techniques.
