With over a decade of work in high-end custom residential and commercial projects, she has honed her skills in award-winning architecture firms across Los Angeles, Seattle, Boulder, and Aspen. Her creative leadership and comprehensive experience span all architectural phases, from conceptual approach to design development, construction drawings, construction administration, and interior design (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment).
Raquel's work is driven by the visionary process and deep exploration required to turn an abstract idea into reality. She is not just a designer, but a guide who will walk you through the process of translating your thoughts into concrete imagery and viable solutions.

Architectural and Product Designer/Visualizer
Alan joined Forest Lab as a 3D Visualizer in 2021, specializing in creating architectural renderings. Alan believes in paying significant attention to lighting and materiality to communicate the design's essence and tone effectively. In addition to his architectural practice, Alan has worked in the product design industry, demonstrating his versatility and expertise in visualization.
Since early in his career, Alan has been captivated by smaller-scale design branches, particularly products and furniture. He firmly believes furniture is a crucial mediator between architecture and the user, a perspective that has shaped his comprehensive understanding of the design process.
Alan is drawn to unpretentious objects that capture our attention with their clean gestures, objects that are simple yet unexpected, thoughtfully designed but not overly complicated.
