Hello, I'm Diego Enrique Fernandez, an architect with roots in Miami and a rich professional background cultivated in Santiago, Chile. A proud alumnus of Universidad Diego Portales, I carry the distinction of being an 'Alacero' and 'CAP' award recipient in 2018, achievements that underscore my commitment to architectural innovation on an inter-Latin American scale.
Professional Experience:
I possess a fervent passion for residential architecture, where I explore the dynamic interplay between grand scales and the intricate nuances of object design. My approach is characterized by a deep engagement with complex geometries and the meticulous precision required for small-scale design work.
Amidst global and local upheavals, I embraced entrepreneurship, channeling my adaptive skills into the design of ceramics and high-end furniture. This venture into functional art has allowed me to push the boundaries of aesthetic expression and utility, with a particular focus on sustainable materials such as recycled plastic.
Career Objective:
I am seeking opportunities that align with my expertise in crafting spaces and objects that resonate both functionally and artistically. I am particularly interested in roles that challenge my creative boundaries and allow me to contribute to projects that are environmentally conscious and forward-thinking.
Skills and Interests:
I am eager to bring my unique blend of design precision and entrepreneurial experience to a collaborative and innovative architectural team. Let's connect if you're looking for someone who not only values the art of design but also the functional poetry of living spaces.

My role in various projects has been multifaceted, including direct engagement with clients to understand their vision, leading the design process with a focus on aesthetic and functional details, crafting precise budgets to align with financial objectives, and executing intricate detailing work. Additionally, I've employed advanced 3D modeling to bring concepts to life. On-site responsibilities have been crucial, with regular job visits to ensure project fidelity and on-site measurements to guarantee absolute precision in the realization of the designs. All within BIM programs.
