High capacity in the construction phase and design phase, especially in the resolution of typical problems that may occur. I have a great capacity for teamwork and leadership, always reporting to principal. During last years I have been working in my own Architectural Studio. I have been developing a variety of projects in which I can include single and multifamily housing, institutional and cultural buildings, office buildings, hotels and urban/landscape Projects which you can find them in many different scales.

My task was started in organizing the openings of hotels recently Inaugurated. Quickly I started to put in order the renovations of the hotels with more seniority, this work entailed the reform of some rooms, lobbies, etc... My duties began with previous designs, making the interior design, furniture design, budgeting, hiring contractors, FF & E manager, construction supervision, deadlines and overspending, established hotel management strategies to lessen the inconvenience of renovation with the operation of the hotel, as these works were carried out without close the hotel. Another function that I developed in Hospes Infiniti Places was the external relationships with consultants, contractors, suppliers, authorities for the new Hotels in project.
