I am an Architect who graduated from the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO) and currently pursuing a master’s degree in Architecture – Built Environment – Interiors at Politecnico di Milano.My professional career spans several years as a Project Architect and Project Manager for various project typologies in collaboration with renowned firms specializing in architectural design for residential, commercial, and hospitality masterplans. This experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the various stages of architectural project execution, from planning and concept design to on-site construction supervision for both local and international projects.The workflow and complexity of these projects demanded strong coordination and collaboration with various disciplinary entities, extensive software proficiency, and close communication with clients to ensure optimal execution.My work within these organizations has been featured in architecture exhibitions, including the showroom opening at the Design Center Grupo ARCA in Guadalajara (2019) and "Después del Jardín" at the Instituto Cultural Cabañas (2018). Furthermore, projects I have collaborated on have received recognition in digital magazines such as Designboom, Architizer, and Arquitectura Panamericana. Recently, I was honored with a mention in Elías Rizo Arquitectos' Monograph (2022) as part of their collaborating team, published by the international magazine Arquine.In 2018, I became a founding partner of the independent architectural duo VAGO Arquitectos, focusing on developing residential and commercial projects internationally from the Caribbean to the Danish fjords. This career opportunity has represented significant growth for me, enabling me not only to apply my acquired experience with complete control and professional responsibility but also to expand my network and establish myself as a brand in the architecture field.During this period, I have reinforced my passion for architecture, driving me to expand my knowledge and horizons in this exciting field. I continuously seek professional, personal, and cultural growth to promote high-quality design and planning that remains true to its context. My approach has always been centered on space optimization, balancing functionality and artistic expression, and anticipating each project's unique characteristics and limitations to create enriching atmospheres that enhance the user's experience.
