About 

Although originally from Brazil, I have lived overseas including Bolivia, Colombia, and United States. I have had professional experience in an array of projects including commercial spaces, government projects, and master plans.  During my architecture studies I developed an interest in the relationship between architecture and landscape as well as the concept of immersion, both areas that I would like to continue to explore in the future.  I also love the beach probably as much as I love cheese, which is a lot.
