Available to hire
Hello, I’m Catalina Riva. I’m an architect with extensive experience in residential, commercial, and interior design, and I also manage construction projects. I specialize in coordinating multidisciplinary teams, developing creative design proposals, and overseeing documentation for municipal approvals.
Beyond practice, I’m a pedagogical-minded teacher at secondary and university levels, passionate about sharing design knowledge and mentoring students. I value hands-on learning, collaborative problem-solving, and building spaces that improve people’s daily lives.
