I am an American-Chilean-Honduran landscape architect, plant specialist and researcher whose design ethic centers environmental and spatial justice. I am passionate about bridging design with community engagement, environmental research, and visual storytelling for social and ecological restoration. Practicing with an ethics of care, I strongly believe that healing land is directly tied to healing communities and cultivating placemaking. I am currently practicing at SLA where I work on international revitalization projects, using ecological research to create strategies and plant designs for regenerative ecosystems that reflect the local landscape, strengthen biodiversity, and create spaces of belonging for all species. With a nature-based approach, I collaborate with biologists and ecologists to leverage the transformational properties of natural systems to increase our cities’ resilience to climate impacts and with my artistic abilities, I graphically conceptualize sustainable futures and communicate stories from the land.
