In 2008, he received a Master's in Architecture in advanced design and applied technology from the University of California, Los Angeles participating in a series of seminars and research projects centered primarily on digital fabrication, scripting, digital media, and interactive environments. Since then, Luis Felipe has worked independently on projects that deal with digital fabrication, automation, and emergent technology applied to architecture in Los Angeles from 2009 to 2016, and currently in Guadalajara. In 2016, he joined Tecnológico de Monterrey, Guadalajara Campus, in Mexico, as an architecture professor, participating in courses, workshops, seminars and research projects focused on prospective and technology-based design methodologies, as well as the use of mixed realities, computational design and digital fabrication within architecture.
