After having worked at Bureau B+B  urbanism and landscape architecture for a year, he left for Barcelona to start a master in landscape architecture (Máster de Arquitectura del Paisaje) at the ETSAB/UPC (2000-2002). During his master he also worked as a freelancer and was employed by Bureau MF arquitectura del paisage.
