Francisco’s artistic talents combined with his professionalism and work ethic make him an invaluable asset to our firm’s Architecture + Art commitment.

Francisco’s family came to the U.S. from Arequipa, Peru, when he was eleven years old, and since that time New Haven has been his hometown. In 2007, through a program at his high school, Francisco took advantage of an opportunity to take a short internship that would give him a taste of the post-graduation career he was imagining for himself. He spent three weeks with us at Svigals + Partners as an intern and one year later returned as a full-time employee.

Francisco is now a valuable asset, working with any number of team members on nearly every art project taken on by the office. He enjoys the firm’s focus on incorporating art into architecture, but especially takes pleasure in learning from involvement in as many aspects of the process as possible and seeing ideas take physical form, becoming ‘reality’ in built space. As a key member of the marketing team, he is also instrumental bringing his graphic design expertise to proposals and presentations.
