I’m Vanessa, an architect and ceramicist with a deep passion for designing spaces that feel intentional, refined, and deeply personal. After graduating from SCI-Arc, I built my experience between the offices of Eric Owen Moss, Marmol Radziner, and Kevin Daly. Over 11 years, I worked on luxury homes, tech campuses, and affordable housing projects, then took the leap to start my own practice. My focus is on crafting elegant, functional environments that seamlessly blend beauty with the way people truly live.

My design approach is rooted in understanding the human experience, focusing on how movement, materiality, and light shape our interactions with space. I draw inspiration from my Indigenous and Afro-Colombian heritage, particularly Pre-Columbian symbolism and craftsmanship, which influences my sensitivity to form, texture, and timelessness in architecture.

In addition to architecture, my ceramic work explores the intersection of artistry and utility, reinforcing my belief that good design exists at every scale. Whether shaping a vessel or shaping a home, my process is patient and precise, always honoring the balance between aesthetics and purpose.

I started my practice to bring high-level design thinking to everyday people, making architecture more accessible without compromising sophistication. If you’re looking for an architect who listens, collaborates, and translates your needs into a space that truly reflects you, let’s create something extraordinary together.
