About 

I am an architect from Rio de Janeiro who has worked in both practice and research, with a special interest in public buildings, urban infrastructure, and the intermediary scale between architecture and urbanism.

I have recently graduated from the Yale School of Architecture Master of Architecture II program and have previously worked for renowned offices such as Mecanoo, Grua Arquitetos, OMA New York, and Campo. I have experience in Conceptual, SD, DD and CD design phases, and have also participated in several design competitions. In 2018 I was invited to be an associate researcher for the Brazilian Pavilion Walls of Air Exhibition at the Venice Biennale, and while a bachelor student I was part of two research initiatives; Reverse Atlantis – New Oil Territories in Brazil, led by the Architecture, Infrastructure and Territory Lab at PUC-Rio, and New Cartographies. Additionally, I have worked as a freelancer in architectural visualization for several years, providing 3D modeling and renderings for architects and offices.
