Moved by structure, resonated by soul and sound

E Sylvia portrait

In three creative realms—music, architecture and metaphysics—what may seem distinct has always resonated as one. Music teaches form and feeling. Architecture reveals how space holds memory. Metaphysics illuminates the unseen patterns beneath it all.
Together, they tell one story.

Music: A Foundation of Sound and Soul

Raised in a family rooted in music—jazz-playing uncles, a piano-capable grandmother and a great-grandfather who tuned pianos and explored photography in its earliest days—music shaped both my spirit and my discipline.

An Associate of Arts degree (cum laude) came early, along with formal training in piano, voice and technical theory—including interpretive study of hundreds of J.S. Bach chorales. I worked my first professional job performing in a cover band during college, then went on to study piano and solfeggio at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid, earning placement with its top instructors after a Chopin audition. It was in Spain that I first fell in love with the architecture of music—and the music of architecture.

Years later, that foundation gave rise to Metros y Murciélagos, my debut album. Created with the support of AI tools for music and translation, it blends original lyrics and genre-diverse soundscapes into something deeply human and contemporary. Music remains a central part of my work today, evolving through collaboration and creativity.

Architecture: Shaping Space with Story

After returning to the U.S., I earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Maryland. My professional journey began at William Morgan Architects—a firm celebrated for its timeless earth-integrated design—and continued under the mentorship of licensed architects in California where I attained professional registration after completing a rigorous 32-hour licensing exam, later receiving reciprocal licensure in Washington state.

Though no longer in active practice within the permitting and technical realm, architecture continues to inform the way I think, design and create. I offer creative concept development, often with symbolic or spiritual influences woven in. While I don’t produce construction drawings nor detailed renderings, I’m excited by the possibilities of AI-enhanced design tools to help artists like me bring vision into visual form.

Current studies include Vaastu Shastra, the ancient Indian system of spatial harmony. It’s a fascinating blend of architecture, wellness and cultural symbolism—layered with insight, myth and mystery and deserving of creative improvisation from multiple dimensions.

Metaphysics: Design from the Inside Out

Metaphysical practice began during a period of healing—first physical, then spiritual. Well-being returned through alternative care. In the still aftermath, a doorway was unlocked—to sacred symbolism, Tarot and a deeper awareness of space, ritual and energy.

This focus is enriched through respected and time-tested programs such as Builders of the Adytum (B.O.T.A.), based in Los Angeles California—whose teachings combine esoteric wisdom with disciplined thought, awakening a deep appreciation for sacred symbolism, ethics and the architecture of intent.

I offer select metaphysical services, including mentoring and intuitive Tarot interpretation, along the same metaphysical path that inspired the creation of Temple of Fortuna—a digital space that explores the intersection of Roman history, ancient architecture, metaphysics, inclusive spirituality and the feminine divine. This space centers on the enduring archetype of a goddess named Fortuna—a timeless symbol of fate, flow and possibility.

Everything Is Connected

Music, architecture and metaphysics are three expressions of one integrated practice:

Music composed spatially.

Spaces designed symbolically.

Spiritual insight with the clarity of melody.

Your vision calls for imagination, soul and unconventional beauty—and I’d love to help you connect the dots. Collaborations, commissions and creative conversations are welcome across all three realms.

Let’s build something beautiful—collaboratively.
