Hello! I am a creative designer, born in Chiclayo, Peru, and was raised with a Chinese-Peruvian background. In May 2020, I received a Bachelor of Design focused in Architecture with a Minor in Anthropology from the University of Florida. My goal is to take part in the movement that pushes the definition of design today. I desire to integrate my past creative experiences into the concepts I form - designing spaces that are both culturally and socially aware but also challenge the conventional forms of design altogether.
For a more in-depth summary of my design experiences, please check out my LinkedIn!
