About 

After finishing my Bachelor in Architecture in Mexico I began working for a project just outside Mexico City aiming towards a full Living Community Challenge certification. I serve as the LCC coordinator for the project.

As an independent architect I have worked on bioconstruction projects which made me fall in love with natural construction materials. To expand on this passion I travelled to Finland to study wood design and construction techniques, broadening the spectrum of design possibilities.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking and spending time in nature, biking around to my hearts contempt. I love travelling at a human scale and discovering gems around the world that can only be found when I'm not looking.
