I am an architect from Spain, with 13 years of international experience.
I started my career working as an architect and urban planner in my home country. My passion for architecture drove me to pursue new opportunities in Ireland and Italy, and in 2013 I arrived in New York.
After 10 years working in New york, I have moved back to Spain and I am looking for new opportunities.
I am a highly motivated and well organized person, independent and creative thinker. I have strong communication skills and a well trained, attentive eye.
I am adept at multitasking and have a distinct ability to adapt to new places and situations.
I consider every project an opportunity to achieve design excellence while meeting deadlines.
