About 

I am an architect experienced in designing and carrying
projects from concept design to finished building, from
higher education to office towers, including airports,
hospitals and smaller scale such as various residential
typologies.
With over eight years of experience working with
Architecture offices in New York and Spain, I have
honed my skills in design development, construction
documentation, and construction administration. My
strength lies in technical design, construction detailing
and coordination paired with a solid background in BIM.
I hold a Master of Architecture degree from the
University of Salamanca, a Master ́s in technological
facades and sustainable envelopes and a Master ́s in
BIM technology. My professional and academic journey
equipped me with a solid foundation and a lifelong
dedication to the art and science of architecture.
