I have practiced architecture for nearly 20 years and attribute any measure of success to my conviction that design makes a difference in people’s lives and the unrelenting need to understand how things are put together. My experience ranges from high-rise residential to commercial and mixed-use lifestyle communities, having loved the specific challenges each product type presents. Having grown up in Monterrey, Mexico in a bi-cultural family traveling back and forth to Texas became part of my identity. I believe the duality of being both Mexican and American has shaped my perspective and the lens through which I see the world. I am passionate about issues of equality, education and civil rights. My professional drive lives at the intersection of social dynamics and the built environment, always searching for the opportunity to grow and learn. “Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.” - Nikola Tesla
