About us
It all starts with family. GO Designs has been family-owned and operated for 15 years and counting. Based in El Paso, Texas - we've worked diligently to introduce high-end design and quality work to homes across the Southwest. Our family roots are what drive our approach to our clients, forming a personal commitment to creating spaces that not only showcase the beauty of the region, but also reflect the unique character while enhancing the lives of the families who inhabit them.
With a blend of innovative design and respect for Southwestern agriculture, we craft timeless landscapes through our exclusive design-build process. Each project is met with careful consideration and managed as though it were own (and it is).
As a family-owned business, we know our spaces are reflective of us; it's what makes a space a home and we recognize the important of personalization and comfort. Our values emphasize building relationships and creating environments that bring joy and togetherness to families.
Allow us the opportunity to bring your vision to life, to build a beautifully functional space that will last for generations to come.

Jorge is a bilingual architect with over 4+ years of experience in high-end custom residential design. He obtained his Associates in Architecture at EPCC in 2019, and then transferred to Texas Tech where he obtained his Bachelors of Science in Architecture in 2021. During his school tenure, he interned at land surveying company, CAD Consulting Inc., for 3 years. Then, interned 2 years with locally known steel sculptor, Robert Davidoff. After graduation, he immediately began working for local high-end residential designer, Chad North (CGN Designs) for 3 years. Until he resigned in June 2024, to co-start his own design firm, FABRIC Design + Build LLC.
His wide range of interests consist of carpentry, metal fabrication, poetry, photography, philosophy & psychology. Which helped him develop a keen eye in visual arts, craft and a well-rounded practical approach to architecture.His main search is for the spirit of place. To find the unique essence each project's site brings, along its qualities and disadvantages, and to not go against it, but to dance with it, groove with it. Architecture should first and foremost solve the problem, but the solution has to be poetically intimate with the site.
"Architecture should act as an auditorium that echoes the spirit of place."
