My architectural journey has evolved further in recent years as I’ve had the privilege of practicing in the vibrant and dynamic city of Portland, Oregon. This new chapter of my career has allowed me to integrate the unique character and design ethos of the Pacific Northwest into my work.

Drawing from my Mexican heritage, Arizona-Sonora upbringing, and academic foundation, I majored in architecture at Arizona State University and pursued additional coursework at community colleges in the Phoenix Arizona metropolitan area. My education, coupled with my recent practice in Portland, has equipped me with valuable knowledge in expediting building permits for residential projects.

I also pursued my architectural major while simultaneously working in the construction field to pay for my schooling. This hands-on experience provided me with a deep understanding of the practical aspects of building, enhancing my ability to translate architectural concepts into real-world structures.
