“i restore buildings because someone has to believe that the past is still worth saving.”

she / her.

born under the andalusian sun, raised between poetry and scaffolds. studied architecture to preserve stories etched in stone. fiercely independent, emotionally scarred, unintentionally charming.

mother to tomás — a curious little boy with his father’s eyes and her stubborn soul.

moved across the ocean to rebuild herself, brick by brick. carries the grief quietly, lives out loud for her son.

drinks her coffee black, works late, laughs in fragments.

restores buildings like she’s trying to restore herself — delicately, honestly, without hiding the cracks.

aesthetic.

dust-covered floor plans | faded postcards | rain on old windows

warm hands sketching in cold libraries | lullabies in spanish | coffee that’s gone cold but still comforting

candlelight against peeling paint | whispered bedtime stories | quiet strength beneath tired eyes
