About 

Currently at Ateliers Jean Nouvel, Paris, as a Designer. During my education I have explored spaces that engage deeply with its context. Jean Nouvel practices contextual architecture and for this reason I began my professional adventure under him, to enriching our experience / understanding of place, finding opportunities for innovative ideas with new connections to our cities and societies.

During this time I have been working predominately on high-rise architecture and cultural buildings, however also extends to master planning and installations.To date my strengths and passion lies in the creative, solving problems through design, therefore I gravitate towards the initial early stages of the design process. These abilities were tested and validated more recently being promoted to lead Architect on a winning competition entry for the new headquarter of tech giant WeChat in Guangzhou, CH.

I have been involved in preparing detailed drawings and construction documents for high rise buildings in Paris and Sao Paulo. This has allowed me to develop a strong technical understanding for construction and the constraints encountered in making ideas. 

I am proficient in software's such as Revit, Rhinoceros, Grasshopper,  V-Ray, AutoCad, ArchiCad and Adobe Creative Suite. These tools allow me to solve complex design issues faced throughout the entire building process. 

I have a deep passion for Architectural theory, Art and research led design continually looking to add more depth and value to every project.
