Bio:
As an Architectural graduate at Plus Architecture and Environmental Sustainability Design advocate (Member of GBCA), I believe that collaborative work is key to developing impactful design in the building industry. Prior to arriving in Melbourne in 2017, I completed a degree in Architecture with a focus in sustainability at ITESM University in Monterrey, Mexico. I then settled in Melbourne where I completed a Master of Energy Efficient and Sustainable Building at RMIT University.
How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?
I first learned about architecture at 15 years old, it became an area of interest shortly after. My interest in building design started when I first visited Mexico City. The combination of gothic, renaissance & baroque styles captured my attention
