I'm an Architect graduated from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at Universidad Central de Venezuela and a Master degree in "Architecture de Milieux" at the Ecole Spéciale d’architecture of Paris with more of 14 years of experience, currently based in Paris and Caracas, Venezuela.
My work is focus on all scales of architecture's programs, going from concert halls, cultural centers, educational and housing to art collaborations and collective installations. I believe in producing our own architectural projects, proposing and developing it throughout collective thinking and leadership.

Right now i'm developping somre projects on a rural scale responding to the subject of my academic research.

I complement my practice teaching at the Universidad Central de Venezuela and at this moment at the Ecole Special d'Architecture in Paris. I've been invited to as professor and international jury at the Universidad Simon Bolivar, FIU of Miami and PCUP in Lima, Peru. I focus my research on rethinking the "habitat" and working on projects that allowed the students to think the project in articulated scales.

I am an impact design enthusiast passionate about a more equitable and just Africa. A firm believer in the potential and power of design processes and products to promote economic stimuli especially in under-served communities.

An alumnus of the African Design Centre in Kigali, a fellowship program by MASS Design Group that trains and empowers the youth to become creative design leaders, am currently working as a Designer at BuildX Studio that envisions a world made for people and planet by creating the buildings of a radically better tomorrow.

As an architect, my main focus is to achieve the function needed for the building and to create the convenient environment for the users to fulfill their needs. As to achieve this, my design always follows the project's concept and the general rule that says "Form Follows Function'. Starting from the least important detail in the project, to the master function, gives the project their identity and uniformity.
