About 

In the year nineteen-ninety-six I was born in Toluca de Lerdo, a sub-humid, glacial city in the country of Mexico. This is what construed upon me a zealous mindset which is evident in every aspect of my life. Quite recently, I completed a semester abroad in Italy where I experienced various cultures as well as obtaining a sense of global consciousness, I have deemed it as a vital piece of my architectural education that is conducive to creativity. I have just graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree. 
 
I believe environmental architecture emanates from a polymorphous design. That design is the derivation of the true understanding of present societal needs, and through proper aptitude creates art forms of the purest form; ergo ecological design has the capacity to render both the needs of the present and future lives while symbiotically lessening adversity in the environment within societies in hopes of an unconfined niche to the realm that is a sustainable built environment.
