I have ten years of experiences working with engineers, landscape architects, designers, and developers. This work with a wide variety of communities has given me experience and confidence to complete projects with authority, skill, timeliness, and within financial perimeters.

I have an established professional studio complete with the technical equipment needed to develop projects on a large scale, and a team of skilled workers for production and installation.

For Luminarias del Pueblo, I propose a sculpture that is illuminated in a simple manner to avoid maintenance and electric problems as much as possible.

The sculpture is seven feet tall and the materials that will be used will facilitate quality and security for an interior or exterior environment. Aluminum, wood, and metal are the three main materials that will be used for the proposed project. Adjunct to this proposal are examples of the material and a mock-up to be evaluated. For the important electric component of the structure I will consult with a professional service and will count on Tucson Electric Power's support. Additionally, I propose that the usage of solar power will be much more attractive and environmentally friendly.

The dimensions of the sculpture will be seven feet tall by three feet wide and two feet deep and will be mounted on a solid base of wood and aluminum with small wheels to facilitate its mobility.
