Muy buen curso
From 2015 to 2025, she was a co-founder of Allaround Lab. In her current practice, she develops projects that view architecture as a tool for social transformation, grounded in critical thinking and in strategies that are sensitive to the memory of the places where interventions take place.
Her work has been recognized in several editions of the FAD Awards (2016, 2018), Arquia Próxima (2024), and the Catalan Architecture Exhibition (2019, 2023). In 2022, she received the first prize in the 21st edition of the ASCER Ceramic Awards for Architecture and Interior Design.
Her projects have been featured in international media such as Arquitectura Viva, AD, Divisare, and Dwell, among others.
