Welcome to my About section, where the blueprint of my persona unfolds. Within the walls of this digital space, you’ll discover my professional endeavors meticulously laid out, while the heart of my passions patiently awaits exploration.

I am a product of the vibrant crossroads between Mexican heritage and Texan upbringing, an architect whose roots run deep into the fertile soil of design. When I’m not immersed in the intricate dance of architectural creation within the digital realm of Revit, you’ll often find me amidst the symphony of lines and curves, sketching out ideas or breathing life into spaces through remodeling ventures. But beyond the confines of blueprints and renderings lies another dimension of my existence—one where the rhythm of life is set to the cadence of spinning wheels and open roads. My recent rendezvous with a gravel bike has steered my cycling escapades away from the beaten path, unveiling sunsets and vistas of newfound exploration.

As the pandemic cast its long shadow, it served as a clarion call to prioritize not just the structures we inhabit, but the vessels that carry our essence through time and space. Thus, amidst the chaos, I unearthed a newfound reverence for the temple of my own physical well-being, embarking on journeys that stretch beyond mere miles, towards the horizon of holistic health and boundless discovery.

I recently embarked a new journey with my wife and two puppies. By far my most ambitious undertaking.

I never have enough time to sketch all the architecture that I want. Today I stopped and took all the time I needed to capture the shadows of the king street station. Such an icon of the pioneer square neighborhood. #urbansketching #urbansketchers
Bike downtown today, and sketched. Both good signs of a great weekend.
Here’s another fantasy of mine manifested through Ai. A classic Porsche and bike set-up ready for a bike trip out in the country. #ai #midjourney #midjourneyart #porscheart #porsche911
Wes Anderson inspired house. What else should I do in this style??! Please give me some ideas! #ai #midjourney #midjourneyart #wesandersonstyle
Been messing with Midjourney again. I made some camper RV trucks and Porsches and houses all in the style of Wes Anderson. #ai #midjourney #midjourneyart
Final corner of the aerial before scaling for a test print :).
The third wave of progress on this Roman Aerial view. Hoping to finish this and jump to a few other areas around the city to sketch.
Another snip complete around Castel Sant’Angelo. #architecturesketch #citymaps #travelingsketchbook
Finished another section of the Roman Aerial view. I have to admit that each later becomes a borderline tedious task. I’ve had to piece meal each section over a glass of wine and a movie.
Took a minute to today to catch some sun brought my sketchbook along for the ride. Hope y’all enjoy some sun this weekend.
Sketching indoors to stay out of the cold.
Roma! Started sketching in Morpholio and tested out this aerial site view of Campo de Fiore. What other city should I do.
Playing with Legos again after 2 years of construction. Feel great to get the sketching tools out.
I visited the Filson Headquarters Store recently and think that it is one of the best retail spaces I have been in, in a very long time. The lighting, the clothing, the friendly staff made for an amazing experience. If they had a cafe here, I would
Took a break from my home remodel project to sketch and drink some beer. Sunny days are gifts up here in the pNW. Don’t let them go to waste.
