He holds a Master’s degree in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University in New York. His international education also includes Furniture Design at Danmarks Designskole in Copenhagen, Architecture studies in Mexico City, and Interior Architecture at ESAG Penninghen in Paris.
At Penninghen, he received the school’s Meilleur Excellent distinction and the Penninghen Prize for his thesis, Idea Incubator. Ten years later, he was awarded the Prix Met Penninghen in recognition of his professional career from 2001 to 2011.
His early international trajectory included an internship in Tokyo at Nihon Sekkei, one of Asia’s leading architectural practices, as well as work with Philippe Starck on major hospitality projects, including the Clift Hotel in San Francisco and Faena Hotel & Residences.
In 2003, Mier y Terán co-founded Grupo MYT with his brothers and led MYT Diseño, the group’s architecture and design division. The practice became known for conceiving, developing, and operating hospitality and gastronomic concepts in Mexico and the United States. During a decade living in New York, he opened and operated nine restaurants, giving him an unusually direct understanding of how architecture, branding, operations, and guest experience must work together.
His long-standing creative collaboration with architect Regina Galvanduque—begun in 2003 and expanded through New York and Mexico—ultimately evolved into MYT+GLVDK. Within the studio, Mier y Terán brings together architectural strategy, concept development, business vision, and operational insight, complementing Galvanduque’s leadership in narrative, interiors, brand DNA, and creative direction.
Throughout his career, he has designed and developed more than 50 restaurants, alongside hotel, residential, furniture, and cultural projects. His experience across Mexico City, New York, Paris, Copenhagen, and Tokyo has shaped a global, multidisciplinary perspective in which architecture and design become strategic tools for building identity, relevance, and memorable human experiences.

She studied Industrial Design at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City and Product Design at Parsons School of Design in New York, where she received the Parsons Design Award. Her early professional experience included work at TEN Arquitectos in New York, establishing an international and multidisciplinary foundation for her career.
Galvanduque began collaborating with Andrés Mier y Terán in 2003. In 2011, she founded GLVDK in New York and embarked on a new chapter focused on hospitality and restaurant design. From 2011 to 2016, her work expanded across projects in New York and Mexico, and from 2016 onward the collaboration evolved in Mexico City, ultimately consolidating as MYT+GLVDK: an integrated practice bringing together architecture, interiors, industrial design, furniture, branding, and creative strategy.
As Creative Director, she leads the conceptual and narrative development of the studio’s projects. Her greatest strength lies in creating the DNA of hospitality and F&B brands—defining the story, visual universe, atmosphere, materials, objects, and touchpoints that allow each concept to feel coherent, singular, and memorable. Her approach treats design as a form of storytelling, connecting strategic clarity with emotional and sensory experience.
Throughout her career, Galvanduque has received numerous architecture and design awards. Her work has been widely published in international media, including Architectural Digest, ELLE Decor, Frame, and Dezeen, among many others around the world.
In parallel with MYT+GLVDK, she founded Bomboti in 2023 as a platform for creative collaboration and the exploration of Mexican territory, craft, design, art, and hospitality. She later expanded this vision through Bomboti Casas, dedicated to the restoration and reimagining of distinctive properties. Across these initiatives, Galvanduque continues to explore how architecture, design, culture, and narrative can create meaningful and lasting experiences.
