Patrick Donley talks with Antonia Botero about her fascinating journey from Colombia to the U.S., how a robotics club taught her many important life and entrepreneurial lessons, what her journey in academia was like, what the MADDPROJECT is all about, why the art of asking is an important skill, and what it’s been like designing and building her dream home in Park City.

Antonia brings a wealth of diverse knowledge to her firm with over 15 years of experience in the design and construction industry. She started her career in luxury landscape design and architecture before transitioning into real estate development.

Her development project management experience ranges from large-scale multi-family conversion and ground-up construction projects in Manhattan to branded and independent hotel renovations across national markets. Antonia received an M.S. in Urban Design from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Professional Bachelor's degree in Architecture from the University of Miami. She is also a registered architect in Florida, New York, and Utah, and is nationally certified by NCARB.
