Architecture is the bridge that connects nature, culture and people.
It is a medium that asks for continuous refinement, and allows me to practice materiality, emotions, and observations. Architecture gives me the opportunity to reconnect the natural environment with its people.
I studied Architecture at the Savannah College of Art and Design with a minor in Architectural History. I enjoy traveling, sailing, running, photography, and reading, all of which inspire my work. I am a foreign in the pursuit of new and inspiring experiences that will impact my design.
I characterize myself as a curious person. Since I was a little kid I had the opportunity to travel outside of my country and get exposed to many different cultures. This exposure has given me a broad understanding of our world. From a young age I saw and understood that there are a million ways to find a solution to a problem, it is just a matter of being creative and analytical. Today, being curious has become a way of keeping my mind active. By asking questions and trying to understand what goes around me I get to learn something different from everyone that surrounds me every day.
