The Inspiring Life and Career of Our 2024 MVP: Pablo Moncayo
Our guest today is Pablo Moncayo, Project Manager here at Candelaria Design since 2018 and our current year’s MVP as voted by the entire Candelaria Design staff. Each year our team nominates and votes for our Most Valuable Player – someone who embodies teamwork, leadership, a willingness to learn and go the extra mile. We talk about what this means to Pablo, how his childhood lead him to architecture, his projects past and present, how he has seen the architectural landscape change here in Phoenix and his goals for the future.
Pablo moved here from Chihuahua, Mexico 24 years ago and holds a master’s degree at Taliesin-The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, now known as The School of Architecture, and later earned his master’s degree in Architecture there. He has since remained a board member at The School of Architecture. He shares with us his passions, his sources of design inspiration, favorite travel destinations, and his inspiring personal story!
