Inspired by his love for design and creativity, Pedro’s architectural vision is fueled by the spaces and the world around him, especially connections to nature and living things. He shows that being an architect is more than designing attractive buildings; it’s about creating environments that are effective, inspirational, and memorable.
Pedro’s passion for architecture started at a young age. Fascinated by the towering buildings of downtown Orlando, he enjoyed playing with spaces using Legos and creative sandbox games. When his talent for creating amazing designs in Minecraft earned him small compensations, he decided to pursue a career in architecture.
Born and raised in South Florida, Pedro embodies the blend of local interests and global influences that inspires the region. He stays connected to nature through hiking, four-wheeling, orchid care and collection, and beach cleanups, while staying energized by pickleball, reading, and mental health awareness podcasts.
