Through design, our mission is to connect time, history, place, and people. To be conscious of how to make the right questions. To dissipate the established limits and the conventional hierarchies in order to produce new forms of behaviors.”  Some of the studio projects have been developed in Pharr- TX –USA, El Pescadero – BCS, Queretaro, Puerto Escondido – Oaxaca, Punta Mita- Nayarit, Jiquilpan – Michoacan, Autlan de Navarro – Jal, Arandas – Jal, and Guadalajara, Jal.
