Available to Mentor
My background in urban regeneration and family oriented residential design has shaped a socially conscious approach to architecture rooted in the Ecuadorian context. I've contributed to projects addressing spatial transformation and participated in a multidisciplinary workshop in Guayaquil focused on inclusive public space development. I'm keen to support emerging professionals particularly those from migrant or diverse backgrounds through mentoring that encourages collaborative learning and empathetic design practice. I see these interactions as a chance to exchange lived experiences and foster thoughtful, community-focused design.
Looking For a Mentor
As I settle into the New Zealand architectural landscape, I seek mentorship to understand how architecture is practiced locally its blend of styles, cultural context, and approaches to dwelling relocation. I’m eager to expand my perspective and build meaningful industry connections to contribute thoughtfully to Aotearoa’s built environment. This opportunity represents a vital step in deepening my engagement with the region’s social dynamics and design responses, while aligning my experience with the evolving needs of New Zealand communities.
