About

I’ve always loved to analyse and illustrate! Representing the world around me is my best way of understanding and communicating such understanding.

FCM stands for Flavia Curvelo Magdaniel. She is a researcher, consultant and graphic designer educated as an architect and inspired by the cities and cultures she has experienced around the world.

Flavia was born and grew up in La Guajira, a Caribbean region in Colombia. She moved to Bogotá to study Architecture within an outstanding Faculty of Arts, where she developed a passion for urban development and illustration. After working for four years as an architect and urban designer she moved to the Netherlands in 2008 to pursue a masters education in Real Estate & Housing. In 2010, she obtained the degree of MSc at TU Delft and soon after her graduation she joined the department of MBE as a PhD candidate.

Before and while working in her PhD research, Flavia performed graphic design works for the department of MBE, including the design of the dissertation Managing the university campus, posters, research reports and marketing brochures for education and research.

Nowadays, TU Delft features one of her original designs in the coffee cups and vending machines of the campus. Besides her current appointments, Flavia works as an independent consultant and graphic designer.
