Born in Bucaramanga, Colombia, I grew up in Miami, Florida, and completed my Master of Architecture and Minor in Regional and Community Planning at Kansas State University, the heartland of America. I lived and worked abroad for two years in Mexico City, and I now reside in New York City. These cities are important to me because I feel that design should be viewed through all types of lenses. The places I have lived, worked, and studied have shaped my perspective on architecture and how it affects the people around it. I want to further develop my skills through the experience of creating more sustainable and functional urban solutions.
