About 

I'm an architect in training with a degree from Colombia, looking to gain more experience in the field. I bring a unique international perspective due to my enthusiasm for traveling and learning about different cultures, which I believe would be valuable for any team. I am very passionate about photography, editing and layout design as well, which often motivates me to launch personal projects.
