Having moved from Colombia to New York in 2014, I completed a Master's in Professional Studies in Sustainable Interior Environments at the New York School of Interior Design. Since 2015 I am familiar with architectural projects in the New York area, and I have gained invaluable experience in all phases of architectural design, from schematic design to construction administration.
Throughout my career, I have managed several high-end residential projects, as well as commercial and educational projects. I have also freelanced on a few branding projects, in a way to pursue my interest in graphic design.
In addition to my technical skills, sustainability has become a guiding principle in my work. As an accredited LEED Green Associate, I am committed to incorporating sustainable design elements into my projects, when possible. I firmly believe that sustainable practices not only contribute to environmental preservation but also enhance the well-being of occupants.
