I am a New York-based designer, activist, amateur philosopher, and bedroom musician based in Brooklyn, New York. I am a first-generation born Latinx with a strong conviction for justice and societal equity. I’ve worked at various scales, through different mediums, and have exceptional skills in public speaking and graphic design.
My convictions in regards to architecture are situated on a synthesis of design praxis. I’m convinced that the prevailing tendency toward high design and radical aesthetics must be tempered with formalized theoretical considerations which reconcile the philosophical (the ontological) and the political (the social). My hope is to contribute to the discourse and discipline by applying my principles, creativity, technical skill and insatiable curiosity in a professional setting which is both passionate and collaborative.
