What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities to design calm, compliant healthcare environments through neuro-architecture, while staying hands-on with construction documentation and site supervision—collaborating closely with clients and using low-impact, research-driven materials.

I’m an architect specializing in neuro-architecture, bringing novel materials, methodologies, and perspectives to the construction sector. I translate clients’ vision and requirements into clear architectural programs—from residential and commercial work to healthcare facilities and urban planning.

I’ve led small to large-scale projects and stayed closely involved in the design and construction process, from blueprinting to hands-on development of details like custom furniture. I also collaborated directly on clinics and hospitals, ensuring practical implementation alongside the design intent.

I’ve contributed through teaching as a Teaching Assistant for Urbanism, Architectural Studio, Research at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador. I also support strong documentation and presentation through architectural drawings, construction details, and mentoring in 2D/3D visualization.

Currently, I lead design and project delivery for healthcare and clinical environments, combining architectural design with site supervision and technical-commercial support. I ensure compliance with health sector regulations through conceptualization, interior design, site scheduling, spatial optimization, and detailed 3D modeling and drafting.
