Bio

Hello! My name is Tiara, and I am a proud Boricua and first-generation college student. I recently earned my degree in Design Management from Cabrini University, where I built a strong foundation in creativity, problem-solving, and human-centered design. I am deeply passionate about both art and science, and I am driven to bring the two together through architecture. I plan to pursue architecture with a focus on creating spaces that integrate nature and sustainability. Inspired by biophilic and regenerative design, I want to design environments that reduce environmental impact while supporting well-being through natural elements, efficient systems, and thoughtful materials. Outside of academics, I enjoy painting, reading, and learning languages, as I value the connection that comes from understanding different cultures and perspectives. I also believe in giving back and strive to make a positive impact in my community whenever possible. Rather than choosing between my passions, I have committed to pursuing both, because I believe innovation happens at the intersection of disciplines, not within just one.
