Multidisciplinary Architectural Designer and Artist. Drawing inspiration from the Arizona desert, I design architecture that emphasizes sustainability, local materials, and human-centered design. With a focus on blending innovation with tradition, my work seeks to create spaces that not only integrate seamlessly with their environment but also foster meaningful connections within the community. Through hands-on experience with artisanal crafts and sustainable practices, I strive to design buildings that honor their context while enhancing daily life.
