About 

In November 2011 I completed my Master Architectural degree in Madrid Polytechnic University (Spain) and I am looking for a position which reflects the work, studies and ideas I have been developing over the last few years of architectural training and in practice. Preoccupations with building and material re-use, pattern, landscape, social development and cultural context are all major factors in both my studies.

I would say my main strengths are:

  •  I use proficiency AutoCAD, Photoshop, Revit, Sketch-Up, 3D Max, Rhinoceros and Adobe Suite as you can see in my portfolio.
  •  I am very versatile, able to develop projects at all levels: landscape, design, use, construction, structure, interior design and marketing. As a proof of my Architectural Design skills, I am very pleased to show you an educative project with great definition designed by myself:         http://bit.ly/Oz1pEd
  •  I participated in two International Architecture Competitions obtaining a THIRD PRIZE. I gained experience in design and competition presentation.
  •  I really like dealing with people and I also work well in teams. I have been designing in the retail and medium scale sector for two years experienced as an architect assistant.

Those are the greatest assets I can offer along with my enthusiasm, responsibility and passion, as I am looking forwards to strengthen my knowledge in project design.
