About me
Born and raised in Managua, Nicaragua, I graduated from Purdue University in 2024 with a CIDA-accredited BFA in Interior Design and a minor in Building Information Modeling.
I'm a passionate interior designer who believes great spaces have the power to make people feel truly welcome and create meaningful, memorable moments. My deepest passion lies in hospitality and retail design, crafting environments that bring people together, spark connection, and feel like home the moment they walk in.
For the past year and eight months, I worked in an education-focused practice where I collaborated with project teams to deliver innovative and functional interior design solutions. I developed schematic and design development presentations, prepared construction documents using BIM tools, and assisted in quality assurance and detailing of interior architectural elements.
Based in Austin, Texas, I'm driven by the belief that thoughtful design can truly transform the way people live, work, and connect.
