Assoc. AIA, Senior Associate
I started working in architecture while studying at the University of Buenos Aires School of Architecture. I enjoy seeing sketches transform into the building we envisioned and become part of the city and people’s lives. Always a team effort that includes so many people at all levels, a completed project feels like a great accomplishment.
