Celia Ramírez was born and raised in a family of architects in Mexico City. Growing immersed in a design and built environment, she got inspired by her parents’ practice.

From her father she learnt to understand architecture as a living body, a spatial system that emerges from the bones, then muscles, vital systems, windows as the eyes, and finally, the color and texture of the skin... The places and spaces where life appears to happen.

In 2007 she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from the Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico City. Celia began her career in her father´s office, where she learned valuable design and technical skills for executive project and construction management. While working along her father, she developed a wide variety of projects such as: different typologies of offices around the country, residential, clinics, Stands for display factory, Restoration & renovation for commercial use of a Historic Cataloged by the INAH building dated from the XIX Century, among others.

Between 2010-2015 she had intermittent collaborations with Alberto Rimoch in México City, as a designer and project manager of several Highrise LEED Gold certified high-end office buildings.

Also, during this time, she developed small scale projects for friends & family such as a yoga & meditation space, various ceremonial temples built with organic materials such as stone, wood, brick, adobe and a strawbale barn.

In 2015 she joined the design team at Mandarina's One&Only Resort in Nayarit, México, designed by Rick Joy Architects.

She began as a Project Manager for the local architect, FRB Architects, translating the initial conceptual design into construction documents and materiality research. One year later she was invited to join Rick Joy's office in Tucson Arizona as a Senior Designer for Mandarina´s project.

Two years later, she was recruited by the developer of Mandarina, RLH Properties, as Design Manager and Executive Architect. During that time, Celia led the design apartment commissioned to complete the construction documents of the Public Program, design the Convention Center and to ensure that the design intent was carried throughout the construction process until the opening of the One&Only Mandarina Resort on November 2020.

Meanwhile collaborating with RLH, she managed the design and architectural direction during construction of the Canalán Beach Club, designed by Manuel Cervantes Estudio and the Concept-Schematic Design of the Rosewood Mandarina Resort.

2020-2021 Celia Ramírez Studio opens the practice now as independent.

Inspired by the richness and exuberance of the jungle, she settled in the coast of Nayarit, Mexico. Capitalizing her trajectory Celia Ramírez Studio´s core design value is to ¨Develop to Preserve Nature¨, in a mindful and respectful intervention to the place and landscape by enriching human experience through the shelter, the senses and nature.
