I am Rene; I think and rethink. When I was growing up in El Salvador I became highly inquisitive about the urban environment. Everyday I had to walk to school admiring the intimate relationships between houses, between people. Today, I am not too far from my childhood counterpart. I enjoy getting lost in new places. I like to walk down the unfamiliar street, find the beauty in the back alley, and notice the small little details that make every place special.

Currently, I am a recent grad from Carnegie Mellon University in Architecture and Environmental Policy and I work as an affordable housing fellow for Design Center Pittsburgh. I moved to Miami, Fl around 10 years ago and lived there until I had to go to college. I'm into the sweet embrace of nature, Hispanic undertones, tunes that move bones, playfulness of words, getting lost, and urban gateways.
