About 

I have been a qualified architect in Brazil since 2015, and have graduated from a Master’s Program in Architecture at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2020.

I love working with different areas of architecture and am attracted by the globalization of the architectural industry, allowing me to work with a diverse range of people and to get to know the world and its history through the stylistic and structural development of buildings. I hold a strong belief that society as a whole is always seeking a better built environment, and I’m drawn by the fact that the architecture industry is a constantly evolving field with superb career opportunities and potential for advancement in later life. Architects have a significant and visible impact on our surroundings, people’s life and society in general.
