She brings a well-rounded and thoughtful approach to each project—transforming spaces to enhance both function and beauty. Her work focuses on solving spatial challenges through creative design solutions, helping clients maximize the potential of their environments in sustainable and meaningful ways.


Originally from Venezuela, Maria studied architecture in her home country, where she developed a strong foundation in design principles and a deep appreciation for how architecture can harmonize with its natural surroundings. Her early passion for creativity evolved into a career rooted in collaboration, problem-solving, and client-focused design.

Beyond her professional endevors, Maria draws inspiration from art, photography, and gastronomy. She is particularly attuned to the textures, colors, and patterns in her surroundings, often incorporating these elements into her design process. Nature remains her greatest muse, influencing her to create spaces that feel balanced, adaptable, and enduring.


Outside of work, Maria enjoys traveling and exploring how different cultures influence architectural styles. These experiences continue to broaden her perspective and spark fresh ideas that enrich her design approach.
