About Me
I was born and spent the first five years of my life in Jalisco, Mexico. The next couple of years were difficult learning a new culture and, language. Roseville, Minnesota is where I grew up and began my architectural career. The earliest memory I have is in fifth grade, when our class had to design our dream house.
After high school, I proceeded to obtain my Associates of Applied Science in Architectural Drafting and Estimating from Dunwoody. By 2010, my goal was obtained. I continued my education at North Dakota State University, where I now expect to receive my Masters in Architecture by May of 2015.
My architectural perspective significantly changed these last couple of years. At first, I perceived architecture as “space equals money” and “design sustainably”. Even though these are both true; I now implement fundamental design features, such as correlating the design to the context, landscape, wind and sun paths. My philosophy also plays a large role in how I design.
My philosophy
Metaphors are a significant feature to design. Giving spaces meaning and symbolic representation evokes feelings, dedicated to the moment. These spaces may be designed with a deeper meaning than the eye can capture. Nevertheless, designers must never forget how spaces will be occupied and function for the occupants.
