About 

I am a Mexican-American architect with a Bachelor’s Degree from Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO) in Jalisco, Mexico.

Since I began involving myself in architecture, I’ve had a great interest in lighting and interior design. During my professional career, I’ve developed skills that are important for any job involving architecture and design. Some of the firms or architects the most inspire me are Vincent Van Duysen, Paul Rudolph, Studio Mumbai, Luis Barragán, and David Chipperfield, just to name a few. I also like writing and creating visual content for social media focused on architecture and interior design.
