Born and raised in Colombia, Santiago moved to Providence, Rhode Island, to pursue his passion for design, graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1999 with degrees in Architecture and Fine Arts. After relocating to Los Angeles, he honed his craft at small architecture firms specializing in high-end custom residences and boutique commercial spaces before founding his own practice in 2006.

His work has been featured in Interior Design Magazine and the Los Angeles Times, reflecting his commitment to thoughtful, well-crafted design.
A renovation generally begins with defining goals, evaluating the existing property, and developing an initial design. The project then advances through detailed design, consultant coordination, building permit procurement, contractor bidding or coordination, construction, and final completion. The appropriate sequence can vary for each property, especially when additions, historic preservation, or complex alterations are involved.
