Tell us what you do at PJA

I work as an Urban Designer for the Placemaking team in London. I’m mostly involved in urban strategies, public realm and streetscape schemes for public sector clients across the UK.

What’s your career path so far?

I graduated as a Civil Engineer from the Politecnica University in Madrid, and then studied an urban design masters at the University of Edinburgh. After that, I worked in Madrid for a bit and moved to London in 2018.

What do you enjoy when you’re not working?

I have been cycling around London a lot over the past year and a half. Very fun experience – especially when the city was less busy!

Are you a dog or cat person?

Most people in the London team seem to prefer cats… but I think I’m more of a dog person.

What are you currently reading or listening to?

I’m reading ‘The Language of cities’ by Deyan Sudjic that I’m enjoying quite a lot.

And lately I have been listening to Nala Sinephro’s ‘Space 1.8’ – cool record!

Claim to fame?

Got to meet some of the ‘Galacticos’. Doesn’t get better for a football fan, really…
