About StudioOur Manifesto
“You do not have to only be what other people are comfortable with.”
SIZ Studio is a boutique design-build firm with a refreshing approach to the practice of construction. We are designers, builders, and artists. And we have no agenda other than your happiness.
With us, you receive highly-skilled, energetic, business-savvy designers with a background in architecture and construction. We believe that great design is a harmony of different elements and more importantly, the relationship and conversations between the client and designer.
Dreams of plants
Claudia brings an artist’s eye and passion to design. She holds a BA in Visual Arts and a minor in Psychology from the UC San Diego and a Master of Architecture from NewSchool of Architecture & Design. She began in the industry at an early age working for her Father’s construction company. In 2011, Claudia decided to establish her own practice and co-founded SIZ Studio. She loves music and will break out in a random dance move at any time.

Loves to build stuff
Jorge comes from a family of builders. His father was a builder and his father’s father was a builder. He brings more than thirty years of construction experience to SIZ Studio – building structures, landscaping, and everything in between. He has seen it all and appreciates the artistry and craftsmanship of how things come together. When he is not building, he enjoys a game of pool.
Anything is possible.
