About 

Hello there! I'm a dedicated architect with a knack for crafting impactful spatial experiences that blend functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. With a solid foundation in architecture, complemented by a specialization in construction management and interior architecture, I bring a diverse skill set to the table, ready to take on new challenges and contribute to compelling projects that push boundaries.

My journey began at the esteemed Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, where I honed my architectural skills. Building on this, my pursuit of knowledge led me to a specialization in construction management at the Universidade Franciscana, equipping me with a deep understanding of the intricacies of overseeing construction projects. My passion for harmonizing space and design led me to pursue further studies in interior architecture at UniRitter, allowing me to seamlessly integrate aesthetics with functionality.

Stepping into the world of academia, I also embarked on a profound exploration of acoustics, culminating in a master's degree from the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. This specialization has given me a unique insight into the interplay between sound and architecture, enriching my design approach with a holistic understanding of how spaces can resonate with human experiences.

During my tenure as a professor in architecture and interior design, I had the privilege of nurturing young, creative talents while immersing myself in the academic undercurrents of design thinking and ingenuity. Fuelled by these experiences, I ventured into establishing my own architectural firm in 2019, creating a platform to channel my creativity and vision into bespoke residential and commercial projects, with a focal point in interior design. 

I take great pride in working with renowned brands such as Itaipava, TNT Energy Drink, Black Princess, and others, providing design solutions that resonate with their unique identities and aspirations.

Embarking on collaborations that transcend borders and cultures, I’m enthusiastic about the prospect of leveraging my expertise to contribute to exceptional projects that redefine architectural landscapes. With a relentless pursuit of excellence and an unyielding commitment to visionary design, I look forward to engaging with innovative teams and pursuing projects that challenge the status quo, breathing life into spaces that captivate and inspire.

I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to impactful, forward-thinking projects, and I look forward to forging new, meaningful connections within the global architecture and design community.

Employment 

UFN University, Santa Maria, BR, University professor

As an integral part of the academic realm, my journey as a university professor within the field of architecture and urbanism has been nothing short of an enriching odyssey. With a diverse instructional portfolio that encompassed a wide array of disciplines, including Studio Design, Environmental Comfort, Revit, Observational Drawing, and Interior Design, I've had the privilege of illuminating the minds of budding architects and designers with innovative pedagogical approaches and real-world insights.
Moreover, my role extended beyond traditional classroom dynamics, as I assumed the mantle of coordinating the Environmental Comfort Laboratory, fostering an environment for hands-on exploration and experimentation that amplified the learning experience. This, coupled with the mentorship of numerous students through their Final Graduation Projects (FGP), has been a profoundly rewarding experience, enabling me to facilitate the nurturing and transformation of creative sparks into formidable industry-ready talents.
Evidencing a commitment to academic rigor and industry relevance, I also assumed the role of adjudicator for various TFGs within the institution and, in some instances, served as a distinguished panel member in external academic forums. This multifaceted engagement not only reinforced my dedication to student development but also positioned me as a discerning voice in shaping standards of architectural excellence.
Additionally, I curated immersive learning experiences by spearheading educational excursions, guiding students on enriching study tours that served as vital conduits for channeling their theoretical foundations into tangible, contextually grounded comprehension.
Envisioning the future of architecture and urbanism, I stand poised to intersect my academic expertise with the exigencies of industry, poised to contribute to innovative endeavors, mentor leaders of tomorrow, and shape paradigms that transcend conventional boundaries.
Driven by an unwavering commitment to academic excellence and a fervent dedication to inspiring the architects and urbanists of tomorrow, I am prepared to wield my multifaceted experience as a catalyst within forward-thinking institutions devoted to empowering the next generation of design luminaries.
