Project Manager at URBACT advising on sustainable urban development and climate adaptation.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to connect with organizations and professionals who see the future of architecture and territorial management as rooted in regeneration and environmental commitment.

At URBACT, I advise on sustainable urban development and climate adaptation as a Validated Expert. Since closing my last corporate chapter in February 2026, I’ve been shaping my experience into freelance work focused on Nature-Based Solutions, forest regeneration, and ESG.

At YVYRA - EXTERPARK, I managed the technical office and provided technical assistance to client architects and landscape designers. I also followed luxury resort decking projects as a construction manager, working closely with construction companies.

With GMLV arquitectura del paisaje, I worked across project scales, from territorial studies to garden design, and crafted landscape projects for public and private sectors. I also followed up on construction projects.

My work has included community co-design and construction at Makea, landscape and graphic design projects, and teaching at Elisava School of Design and Engineering. I believe projects work best when they stay consistent with core values, and I’m drawn to regeneration and environmental commitment.
