Relational Designer.

My practice moves between urban planning, placemaking, and participatory design. My projects activate the relational fabric between actors, opening spaces where difficult conversations can take place and bonds are built, integrating creative methods designed for each context.

Kintsugi Urbano

Kintsugi Urbano

Kintsugi Urbano is a 2018 project sponsored by IDB Cities Lab done by Urbanismo Vivo, Articulo 41 and ATEA that restored the Callejón de San Ignacio in Mexico City. Inspired by kintsugi, it highlighted urban “cracks” through playful mapping, mural intervention, collective planting, neighborhood storytelling, and a community repair club - transforming a neglected passage into a renewed place of connection.
