About 

I am an architect and designer from Mexico, where I formed my professional career and I was able to put into practice my university learning, starting from architectural draftsman to project manager. The previous year I wanted to get more into user design in different areas, so I opted to do a master's in Interior Design in Vancouver, which has helped me to have more skills in user design as well as furniture design and experience design. 

I consider myself a person committed to my work, responsible, creative, always looking to keep my designs on trend, who thinks of solutions and actions for change, and most of all, ready to work on a more professional stage.
