Architect and Urban Planner passionate about making cozier and more beautiful homes and a better urban life for everyone.
My passion for architecture started early, during school, where I fell in love with interior design and I knew that I wanted to work with decoration and make the most beautiful and functional houses for people. During University I was introduced to urban planning and I also fell in love with the idea of working with macro architecture where the scope is to study and design cities so that they are more functional, alive, and safe.
After doing an academic exchange in Portugal for 6 months, where I studied Landscape Architecture, I wrote my thesis and worked in my home country Brazil directly with Architecture and Interior Design projects. Because of the experience I had in the academic exchange I decided to came back to the University of Algarve and specialize in Rehabilitation - Buildings and Urban Areas.
After completing my Post Graduated course, I decided to follow one of my lifetime dream and move to Italy where I lived for 2 and a half years. In Milan, I worked as an architecture designer and project development and restructuring, where I was in charge of the internal renovation of the client's house in base of their needs.
I am currently living in Boston, Massachusetts and am looking forward to embarking on a new professional experience.
