About

The Journey
Architect | Designer | Maker | Voyager

I was born in Miami, where my earliest memories and especially today are of drawing, creating, and building just because it was fun. In 2008, in the middle of a global housing crisis, my family moved back to Santiago, Chile. That shift to the Andes defined my career in how I think of landscape connection and design.

I spent 6.5 years in Chile becoming a licensed architect, studying at Universidad Diego Portales. During that time, I won first place in both the national (CAP) and international (Alacero) competitions for a kindergarten design—an elliptical bridge structure designed for a seismic country. Competing against 1,200 projects across Latin America and winning opened doors I never expected, allowing me to collaborate with some of Chile’s most inspiring architects, such as Cristian Boza.

If you’ll allow me to ramble a little: architecture, to me, is about feeling. It’s the ability to be in a space and experience something that transcends just a ‘box’. Whether it’s a perfectly framed view,  moss growing on an angular stone fountain in your courtyard, or a ramp that pulls you into a hidden garden. I am obsessed with what a location needs to be. My mind lives in proportions, measurements, atmosphere. I don’t believe there is a problem without a beautiful simple, clean solution.

Since returning to the States in late 2023, I’ve been a “tourist in my own country,” letting life take me where it wants me to be. Professionally, I have applied my international background to high-end residential, commercial, and historical projects in the U.S.

I am ambitious, creative, and always eager to learn. Whether I’m working within a collaborative team or taking ownership of a solo project, I am focused on one thing: getting things built to the highest level of design quality.
