Carlos Murrieta, AIA moved to Scottsdale Arizona in 2002 after founding and operating his own design-build firm, Murrieta + Peral Arquitectos, for seven years in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. His previous design-build-owner experience helped Carlos navigate with ease at the firm he first worked in Scottsdale, Arizona, where Carlos became an associate and a couple years after a partner, before co-founding Merge Architectural Group.
