I felt an attraction towards Architecture and design from an early age. As a child, I was drawn to interesting and unique houses with special and beautiful spaces. As I discovered the world of Design at such a young age, I quickly realized that this was what I would want to do my entire life. This attraction to the idea of forming spaces would lead me to rearrange my bedroom’s furniture over and over, always experimenting with different layouts and the atmosphere each created.  

As I grew up, I followed this path by studying a Bachelors of Architecture degree, which only increased my love for design. It showed me how fulfilling it is to know how to build and to be able to design inhabitable spaces. After finishing university, I had the opportunity to work at the most renowned Architecture firms and construction companies in Mexico City, which helped refine my appreciation and knowledge of Architecture and design.

 After a few years, I started my own Architecture, Interior Design, and construction company with my siblings, allowing me to use all the knowledge my career had provided and expanding it even further. After more than a decade and a half of leading design projects, I have been able to polish my skills and knowledge for creating functional spaces that have a unique and appealing design quality, while also expanding my knowledge of finishes and building materials that allow a space to truly stand out. 

I have also learned throughout my career that client appreciation, and the uniqueness of each client’s needs, is one of the most important parts of design. As such, I value each client and project as if it were my own, which in turn allows me to personalize each design in a way that both the client and I will fall in love with.

Once my personal life brought me to Canada several years ago, I decided to embark in a path that was merely a continuation of my journey. By focusing on Interior Design in my professional life in Vancouver BC, I have been reaching new heights while traversing wonderful challenges.
