About 

I became an architect because I stongly believe that through light, color and a good space distribution we affect people and it´s our reponsability to use our skills as designers to improve lives and bring people together . That is why I´m a huge fan of emotional architecture.

As an interior designer I am very passionate about design. Workwise I am a very curious person, autodidact, dynamic and disciplined person.
