About

I am an Architect, Senior Urban Designer and Planner with over 21 years experience and demonstrated knowledge and skills in a wide range of subjects, including Urban Strategy, Urban Design, Master Planning and Architecture. I have an extensive international experience in designing and developing multiple urban planning projects. I hold a Master degree in Urban Design, Town Planning and Development, and a Bachelor degree of Architectural, from University of Navarre,Spain, 2000. For over nine years I worked for FUNDACIÓN METROPOLI (Madrid), in a variety of urban design projects of different scales, especially in Eco Cities and Urban Master Plan projects. In 2009, while I continued collaborating with FM in different projects as external advisor, I joined “Trasdos Architects” (Pamplona, Spain) as Architect Associate, where my work was focused on housing and health related architecture, urban planning and urban development projects. For the last six years I have been working as Senior Urban Planner in Omrania & Associates (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), where my work is focused on Master Planning of high volume of residential and mix use developments. I am responsible for studies, planning and design works necessary to design a complete urban community. Great adaptability, having covered various functions in a wide range of different scale projects, in the areas of design, developing technical documents, as well as project management from the beginning to the successful completion.
