A privilege to return once again to Module 3 of the Diploma in Interior Design within the Continuing Education program at Tecnológico de Monterrey, this time alongside my colleague and partner Ana Jim. Module 3 explores residential, commercial, and office spaces, but my approach goes beyond technical and design considerations.
I am increasingly convinced that interior architecture is one of the most immediate interfaces between the built environment and human well-being. Spatial configurations influence stress levels, emotional regulation, perception, and behavior in measurable, significant ways — positioning thoughtful design not merely as an aesthetic practice but as a form of preventive public health.
In this spirit, I encourage students to move beyond convention and develop proposals that are simultaneously technically grounded, economically viable, and deeply attentive to the people who will inhabit those spaces. The projects that emerge from this group never fail to reaffirm why this work matters.
Grateful to Berenice Chavero and the Experiences and Operations team for their continued trust and support.
