Born and raised in Madrid, Spain, Isabela holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Alfonso X el Sabio University and a Master of Architectural Design and Urbanism from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. Her architectural thesis demonstrated how new developments in existing urban centers should work empathically into the sense of place.

Prior to joining Patrick Ahearn Architect in 2019, Isabela worked for residential firms in both Cambridge and Chicago where she gained experience in renovating and designing high-end residential and retail projects in both urban and suburban setting, as well as several restaurants. Outside of the office, Isabela enjoys spending her free time volunteering and visiting her family and friends back in Madrid.
