I’m María and I consider myself a passionate and perseverant designer. The vibrant colours of Mexico, the surrealism of García Márquez and the infinite organisms of nature are my main sources of inspiration. Colour is the essence of my designs, through it I intend to convey different messages and share my lively spirit. I believe architecture is a tool to adapt and improve the medium and a catalyst to generate emotions and interactions between man and nature. Detail and determination matter to me the most and if we add a bit of humour we have the perfect recipe for facing any challenge.
