About Catherine

I am a…

Architect, Change Agent, Concerned citizen, Connector, Foodie, Parent, Project manager, World traveler

Bio

I was born and raised in Santiago de Chile, where I studied architecture and founded my own office, together with 2 dear colleagues and friends. Life lead me to move to Madrid, Spain back in 2008, where among many other things I finally learned how to ride a bike. 2 years later, Berlin, Germany was mesmerizing my mind as learning German was exhausting it as well. Love made me move once again, this time to Austria, where I now live together with my loving husband and trouble maker adorable son.

I'm passionate about

Art, travelling, intercultural exchange, languages and talking | Creativity, the importance of error and play | Education and how to build a fair future, through respect and social understanding

An idea worth spreading

Learn to zoom out, when confronted to a single story. Reject the Single Story | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

The TED story

Fascinated about the possibility of building Community around collaborating, ideas and learning. The unique and outstanding exchange I get to have through the Curation process, to have a glimpse into worlds that otherwise I would never be able to learn about is the most engaging experience that keeps me inspired and motivated about the work we do in the team. I believe being part of this Local and Global Community to be a privilege.
