I am an architectural designer interested in how architecture emerges through negotiation, between site and concept, clarity and ambiguity, discipline and exploration. Growing up in Oxnard, California, where architecture was rarely foregrounded, I learned to understand space through experience rather than precedent. As a first-generation Mexican American student, this perspective has shaped my sensitivity to how environments are felt, inhabited, and interpreted over time.

My work prioritizes process over outcome, developing ideas through systems, sequences, and repeated testing rather than singular formal gestures. Ambiguity is an intentional part of this work, used to invite interpretation while remaining grounded in program and context. I am drawn to architectures that unfold through movement, thresholds, and light, where perception becomes an active component of experience. I value collaboration as a critical part of design, working through dialogue, critique, and shared authorship. Ultimately, I am interested in an architecture that is rigorous without being closed, and exploratory without being careless one that treats design as an ongoing inquiry rather than a fixed answer.
