🌿 Trilingual Architect | Co-Founder of UpGreen | Sustainability AdvocateWith over 8 years of experience designing and constructing sustainable architectural projects in Paraguay, I co-founded UpGreen in 2017, the country's first sustainable landscape design company specializing in living vertical gardens. Our mission? To redefine how people incorporate nature into their lives while helping mitigate climate change.🚀 As a young entrepreneur, I’ve collaborated with impactful initiatives such as the First Sustainable Construction Prototype in Paraguay and helped shape groundbreaking legislation like Asunción’s municipal ordinance No.128/17, which incentivizes eco-friendly buildings.🌍 Beyond UpGreen, I serve on the advisory board of the Paraguay Green Building Council, where I promote sustainable practices within the construction industry. My work has earned national recognition, including the ADEC Young Entrepreneurs Award, and international acclaim for SDG best practices by the UN Global Compact Paraguay.🌱 My goal is to inspire a deeper environmental consciousness and lead a movement toward a greener, healthier, and more sustainable world—one vertical garden at a time.✨ As a proud One Young World Ambassador, I’m honored to represent Paraguay on the global stage, and I’m currently expanding my knowledge as a scholar in the Erasmus Mundus Master in Impact Entrepeneurship (EMMIE) , focusing on how to develop the ability to balance People,Planet & Profit. Let’s connect and collaborate to shape a sustainable future together!
