Born and raised in Madrid, Spain, Cristina received her Bachelor's and Master's in Architecture in 2017 from UPSAM (Madrid).

She moved to Amsterdam after graduating to start an internship and ended up living there for 4 years, working primarily in residential architecture, especially regarding Monumental Building renovations and Interior Design. This sparked her interest further in the connections and dialogue between old and new, and the transformation of existing spaces with care for detail.

After moving to Chicago, Cristina discovered LBBA, where she is excited to tackle new design challenges that the city presents.
