Aloha, my name is Juan Benedetti and I am originally from Rosario, Argentina. Rosario is a multicultural city along the Parana river where I began my journey as an architect. I got my architecture degree at the National University of Rosario (FAP&D-UNR) and worked during and after college for a construction company as part of a team of architects, as well as on my own projects.

In 2014, I came on vacation to Maui due to my love of windsurfing and the ocean. Here, I met my wife, Malia, who grew up on Maui. We now live in Haʻikū. Here I work as a draftsman and designer, focusing mostly on residential projects. I enjoy working with people to design their dream homes and helping them to create beautiful and functional spaces.

I have a life-long love of drawing and have created prints, T-shirts, and stickers of my artwork. I sell some of my work and am also available for graphic design work. You can also follow me on Instagram @juanito.bndtti to see my work.
