Bio

Architecture, Design, turning ideas upside down, running, learning, loving.
An idea worth spreading
Everything we take from granted is real, but it is not sustainable. I've got to reinvent our life, our way of thinking, the way we make things. And that's just great! :)
Areas of expertise
Architecture, Design, Property Aquisition and Entitlement
The TED story
A happy child, a early parents house leaving, lots of tears during my early twenties, dealing with difficult people in a daily basis, getting lots of bad vibes, starting to think that "this is the best it's going to get". But I grabbed my life, my energy an positive thinking, and went forward. Never stoped, rethinking constantly all the aspects of what I am, what I do, what I need to do. With a smile. Always a smile. :)
