About Celeste Navarro
Architecture, precision and collaboration in support of your team
I am Celeste Navarro Mora, an architect educated at the University of Costa Rica. I provide remote support to architectural practices and AEC teams in Revit BIM modelling, CAD-to-BIM conversion, drafting, documentation and architectural visualisation. My services offer flexible support without the overhead of permanent staffing.
Professional profile & working style
My experience spans five years of architectural drafting, 3D BIM modelling and visualisation, through both studio roles and freelance collaborations. I have worked with conventional and industrialised construction systems, as well as natural materials, bringing an understanding of how design ideas translate into models, drawings and construction details.
Through ongoing remote collaborations with architectural practices, I have learned to adapt to different project requirements and working methods. I aim to be a dependable extension of the team: asking questions early, following agreed criteria and delivering organised files that colleagues can confidently build on.
Systematic thinking, sustained focus, close attention to detail and pattern recognition come naturally to me. I bring these strengths to architectural production: I enjoy working through complex models and drawings, identifying inconsistencies and checking that information remains clear and coordinated across the project.
I work best with a clear brief, organised feedback and time for focused production. Written communication and annotated drawings form the basis of day-to-day collaboration, with scheduled meetings when a discussion is useful.
I work in English and Spanish and divide my time between Costa Rica and Europe with my Belgian husband. I collaborate remotely with teams across Europe and the Americas, with working hours and meeting times agreed upfront to ensure reliable overlap with your team’s schedule. Communication channels, file formats and review frequency are tailored to each engagement.

My approach
I approach architecture through function, spatial experience and careful attention to materials. My experience with conventional construction and natural materials has encouraged an interest in how buildings relate to their setting and the people who use them.
I use modelling and drawings to develop ideas, and visualisation to make design decisions easier to discuss.
AI-powered workflows
I invest time in developing and integrating AI-assisted workflows across architectural production—from drawing preparation and CAD-to-BIM conversion to automating tasks within Revit, refining rendered images and producing architectural videos. Using tools such as ChatGPT and specialised visual applications, I reduce repetitive work and support both technical and creative tasks.
Clients gain access to this practical experience when they need it, without having to research, develop and test every workflow internally. I apply architectural judgement throughout, checking outputs for accuracy, consistency and alignment with the project’s design intent.
How I work
- Clear definition of scope, source files and deliverables.
- Adaptation to the client’s templates, conventions and tools.
- Direct communication in English or Spanish.
- Agreed progress updates and review milestones, with task-based time records for hourly collaborations.
- Order, consistency and attention to detail in delivered files.
