Project Manager at URBACT advising on sustainable urban development and climate adaptation.
What I'm looking for
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.
