About 

  • 6 YEARS WORK EXPERIENCE
  • CONCEPTUAL AND DESIGN TALENT
  • PROVEN ABILITY TO LEAD EFFECTIVE TEAMS AND PROJECTS
  • KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE WITH LARGE SCALE, COMPLEX PROJECTS
  • ABILITY TO ASSIST IN ALL PROCESS

Initialy trained in Italy, I developed my studies of Architecture at the schools of Paris (École Nationale d’Architecture Paris-Belleville) and Barcelona (Escola Tècnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona - UPC), where I graduated with first class honours in 2008. I have worked in several well-known Architecture and Urban Design offices in France, Italy and Spain. Currently living in Barcelona with more than six years experience in various projects and constructions, I now want to move to pursue my international career.
In 2009, I joined TAU Architects to contribute in the firm’s most international project: Tabakalera - New Visual Arts Center in San Sebastian. A Building of more than 35.000 square meters and a complex program where private and public entities are involved. During my initial tenure at the office I served as a Project Designer due to my strong conceptual and design talent. Thereafter, I lead the Design Team between the two offices located in Spain. My good interpersonal skills and the ability to work well in a team have helped me to reach that goal.

As a non-stop learning person, I have been collaborating with other studios and I have reviewed my knowlegde several times, I have done specific courses on Revit and Rhino. Furthermore, in the last two years, I have been a professor of Urban Design of the School of Architecture in Barcelona.
