About 

Hi, my name is Mathias and I'm an architect and experiential designer based in Brooklyn. I received my Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia GSAPP in 2015 and my Bachelor of Architecture and Urbanism from the School of Architecture of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul in 2013. Over the past several years, I've focused on retail and experiential design, working on projects that range from popup installations to full-scale commercial interiors. My work integrates immersive brand experiences with functional design solutions, combining my expertise in materials, construction, and vendor coordination to create cohesive and engaging environments.
