I love it when a building sends a message. When there is strong intention. I focus on the emotions and psychological effects a proyect would have on the people. I have been fortunate to have been in competition a number of times with great success and look forward to being a jury member in this years Inspireli Awards.

My architectural focus is on concept development and choice of materials.
