About Me

I´m a student of a postgraduate, I've 26 years, I passed my childhood living in Guadalajara, a great and populated city located in the west side, considered the cultural capital of my country, region of tequila and mariachi. At that place I've studied the bachelor's degree in urbanism an environment planning, that discipline approach design through analysis and planning of cities, I am passionate about the study of cities, some of my favorite authors of this field are David Harvey, Henry Lefebvre, Jordi Borja, Jan Ghel, Ian Mc Harg, Michael Hough. Also I like to read western philosophy, for example Heidegger and Nietzsche.
Actually I’m living in the city of México, one of the post populated in the world and one of the best laboratories of urban, and social research, trying to accomplish the postgraduate of environmental design in the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, I’m cared about the social and political situation of my country, that's why I’m trying to find solutions in the face of the outlook of poverty and pollution, I consider myself a sponsor of social peace, I really love the landscapes of my country, its natural wealth; my interests are: environmental sustainability, the agroecology, the urban gardens, hydroponics and rain water harvesting.
I have worked with Geographic Information System GIS and CAD computer-aided design in rural development in municipalities of Jalisco, in areas as architecture, land planning, ecological tourism, graphic design & infrastructure.
I consider myself a geek, lover of technology but I try to live with what is necessary, trying to be not materialistic, I’m activist of urban cycling and promote the public transport.
