I am an experienced architectural designer seeking growth through new ideas and knowledge from around the world. I've always thought that can be achieved from the greatest. That's why I try to challenge myself everyday to learn from the best, and especially to see things from different perspectives and points of view, trying and doing new things and getting out of my comfort zone.
I'm passionate about photography, travelling and sustainability, but above all, architecture and its interaction with nature.
I'm both intrigued and fascinated by phenomenology in architecture and the way the user brings to life a project by experiencing it through their senses, as to me this is the way we truly experience a space. A good project meets its function, while a great project meets its function and at the same time offers a true experience while connecting with the user's emotions and memories.
What I am really looking forward to is learning from new cultures and methods, merging and sharing my previous knowledge and take on architecture, from the eyes of a traveller, but especially from the eyes of México.
