Overview
About Me
Hi everybody! Im a Chilean architect and Entrepeneur from Santiago.
I was born and raised in Santiago but whenever I get the chance I try to fly somewhere in the world and meet new people and places. Some of my best friends are from Europe, USA and Australia!
In my free time I really enjoy cooking and try to learn new recipes from the different places I visit. My favorite are from Milan, Tel Aviv and Spain.
A few years ago I launched a company in Santiago dedicated to the design and production of furniture, and although it did pretty well, it became to stressfull to manage after a year and I decided to shut it down since I didnt feel it was the path I wanted to take.
Right now Im working with my fiancee soon to be my wife in her wedding dress company as a financial advisor and manager, but Im planning to go into new projects soon, that is why Im coming to New York for a month.
cheers!
