About 

I was born in Lisbon in 1993 and spent my childhood in Brazil. My parents taught me their love for travelling, visiting museums and reading as a form of education. My Master’s in Architecture was complete with a Thesis “From Monumental to Domestic: Modern Houses“. During university I had some international experience through Athens Course at KU Leuven, Belgium and Erasmus Programme at Politécnico di Milano, Italy. I aimed to further my studies and completed a post graduate degree in Interior Design as well as broadening and enhancing my skills and knowledge in History of Art and various drawing courses.

I worked as an Architect and Project Manager in Poligono and after I was invited to develop the Interior Design department at Spark Capital. During the last two year I was working as a Project Architect at Space4Architecture in New York City. My aim now is to focus on Project Management since I understood it was my straigh wherever I worked before.
