I began my journey studying architecture at Monterrey Institute of Technogy, where I got my B. Arch in 2017. I worked in an architecture firm focused on construction, which gave me a grounded understanding of how spaces are not only conceived but also built. Soon after, I started my own architecture practice, specializing in design-focused renovation projects. These two experiences shaped my early understanding of the built environment, balancing the visionary with the practical.

As I spent more time drawing and working with my hands, I began to feel that drawing didn’t have to be just a step toward a building. It could be a proposal in itself. Over time, my drawings began to break free from architectural constraints like gravity, budget, or even logic. Eyes, oversized muscles, and carnivorous plants started to appear. That’s when I decided to commit fully to art and spent the next three years developing a body of work as a full-time artist.

I thought I had left architecture behind, but it kept calling me back. I realized I needed guidance to find a path where both architecture and art could coexist. That search led me to pursue an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I’m currently studying.

Today, my practice seeks to reflect how we live and relate to the spaces around us—and to propose new ways of designing the built environment that can support a more spiritual way of being.
