THE STORY

I see architecture and design as vehicles for improving people's lives. No matter the scale of the project, I work hard to ensure each solution keeps the individual and client firmly at the center.

I graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 2008 with a 5 year Bachelor of Architecture degree. I have been working in the field since 2010 and have developed a reputation for excellence, integrity and passion for design.

I take an integral approach to architectural design; therefore I have gained work experience in different areas of architecture: concept development, design, construction documents, visual communication, detailing, building and supervising the construction of a variety of custom high-end buildings. 
Working on different building typologies, such as the Johnson & Johnson primary office in Quito, the largest Italian Restaurant in Ecuador and the restoration of the only Art Deco style theater in Quito, have give me the necessary tools, confidence and discipline to tackle new challenges, delivery excellent design solutions and be always open for learning new skills. 
My passion for technology and continuous education has given me a vast knowledge of software programs, such as Revit, Sketchup, Adobe Creative Suites, V-Ray and Lumion. This approach has also allowed me to design better and produce outstanding renderings, communicative virtual animations, efficient construction documents, and stunning presentations for clients.
