Portrait of Laia

Hey, I'm Laia.

I earned my degree in the United States on a track and field scholarship, where I developed a strong foundation in both creative problem-solving and technical thinking. Over the past two years, I’ve worked in the U.S. as a BIM Structural Technician, collaborating on large-scale water treatment projects in the city of Kansas City.

While at the University of Central Missouri, I also contributed as a teaching assistant and helped redesign the university’s TV channel website and newsletters.

I’m passionate about creating thoughtful, data-informed design solutions that enhance user experiences and bring clarity to complexity.
