About me

I am a resourceful, process‑oriented interior design professional who thrives on curiosity, creativity, and continuous learning. With over six years of experience guiding complex, strategic projects, I bring a deep excitement for designing spaces that truly support the people who use them. My Master of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture strengthens my blend of creative vision, technical design training, and collaborative leadership. I’m energized by the challenge of transforming needs into thoughtful, human‑centered environments—because design, at its core, is about people, and that principle shapes everything I do.

During my time at the George Washington University, I received the Studio Leadership Award, awarded to one student for exemplary leadership within the cohort, including proactive support of classmates, sustained professionalism, and a proven dedication to high‑quality work.

I was born in México City, México, grew up in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, and lived in Massachusetts for 13 years. When I am not designing, I enjoy reading, learning, watching movies, painting and dancing. I also love spending time with my two fur babies, Appa and Toph.
