She has collaborated in important Architecture offices within the city, among which Hernández Silva Arquitectos and 3Arquitectura. In parallel, he has developed projects independently.
In 2019 he founded IN SITU Taller de Arquitectura, which was born of a constant search and development of the architectural profession, where each project is approached with a perspective of reflection and criticism, the proposal being the result of a series of observation and analysis processes, always unfinished and in constant evolution.
