Mexican architect based in Helsinki. Working professionally in architecture offices since 2010 in Mexico City (2010-2011), Rio de Janeiro (2011-2018), and Helsinki (2019-currently). Working as a freelancer in Barcelona and Washington DC.
Over the past few years, I have worked in different cities and countries, gaining exposure to various architectural scales and cultures. My professional journey has given me the opportunity to explore my interest in design detail and wood architecture most recently.
As an architect, I am always curious and interested in learning more about the world around me. I find that exploring different cultures and their unique perspectives often helps me to broaden my horizons.
Furthermore, I enjoy working collaboratively in teams, and I believe that teamwork is critical to achieving success in any project.
My passion for architecture and design has kept me active in the field, and I always strive to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and developments. I am particularly interested in wood architecture and believe that it has great potential to create sustainable and beautiful structures.
Overall, These experiences drive me to constantly reflect on architectural design, materials, and tectonics. I am eager to challenge my views and to expand my skills. I want to create engaging spaces through a coherent, responsible, and creative practice.
