Her expertise in Architectural Design, Architectural Technology, and Leadership for Sustainability make her a curious, courageous, and very structured person.

Adriana brings a multidisciplinary array of professional experiences, with a full spectrum of tasks and responsibilities from a mix of design, architecture, manufacturing, and engineering firms.
As her career progresses, Adriana hopes to continue investigating the intricacies of the human condition in the built environment through design, architecture, and innovation.
