PROFILE
During my Architectural studies I became fascinated by different materials and their expression depending on a program, shape or scale. Since then I always seek how to create without compromising the environment. In 2012 I came up with the idea of reusing VHS cases because I could express myself and inspire people reusing obsolete materials. Consequently I realized that I could embrace also product and graphic design as well as management skills by running my own business store. In 2013 I enroled in another Master program focused in Sustainable Architecture where I faced awareness about waste. Aside my architectural career I have been involved within galleries and creative hubs, where I see a source of inspiration between the parts involved. There I have been managing, coordinating and arranging different types of events, always promoting green initiatives and sustainable solutions.
