About Chango
My name is Chango, and I am an architectural designer, educator, artist, and creative mentor with over 20 years of experience in design, community-based practice, public art, and spatial storytelling. I have taught and mentored students through university-level design studios, youth architecture programs, portfolio development, and real-world creative projects. My background includes teaching and research with the University of Minnesota College of Design, leading design studios at Juxtaposition Arts, and developing work across architecture, urban design, fabrication, cultural research, public space, and community-rooted design.
Throughout my career, I have worked with young creatives, architecture students, artists, and emerging designers at many different levels, from beginners learning how to think spatially, to advanced students preparing portfolios, presentations, applications, exhibitions, and professional creative work. I help students strengthen their design process, clarify their concepts, improve their drawings, and communicate their ideas with confidence. My lessons can include architecture studio support, portfolio review, design critique, concept development, precedent research, site analysis, urban design thinking, public art proposals, presentation boards, model-making strategy, Rhino workflow, Illustrator diagrams, InDesign layouts, Photoshop refinement, and creative direction.
My passion for architecture began at a young age through community design, art, and public space, and eventually became both my profession and my lifelong creative practice. I enjoy helping students discover the deeper potential in their ideas, overcome creative blocks, and develop work that feels clear, meaningful, and visually powerful. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is watching students gain confidence in their own design voice.

My teaching approach is rooted in real design practice: architecture, public space, cultural storytelling, fabrication, and community-based design. My goal is to help each student become more confident, more precise, and more original in how they think and make.
My method comes from years of teaching and mentoring in University studio environments. I have taught university architecture studios through the University of Minnesota College of Design, including work connected to environmental justice, urban design, public space, and community-rooted architecture. I have also led youth architecture and environmental design work at Juxtaposition Arts, where I have helped young designers move from first ideas to drawings, models, installations, and public-facing presentations. In 2025, I helped lead a University of Minnesota study abroad program in Melbourne with 17 students, focused on livable cities, design culture, architecture, and public space.
What sets me apart is that I teach from both the creative and technical sides of architecture. My work includes public art, urban design, community engagement, fabrication, cultural research, and full-scale installation.
These lessons are ideal for high school students applying to architecture or design school, undergraduate architecture and design students, graduate school applicants, emerging artists, public art applicants, and creative people who need stronger design direction. I can support beginners who are learning the basics of architecture, as well as advanced students who need sharper concepts, better drawings, stronger diagrams, and more professional presentation skills.
