About 

I'm a designer driven by a love for visuals—shapes, colors, and patterns have always been my creative fuel. After earning my degree in Psychology in Brazil, I found my true path in design, leading me to UCLA's Architect and Interior Design Program. My career started in residential interiors as Senior Designer at Amy Sklar Design in Los Angeles. After my first child, I embraced a new challenge in retail design, joining Skechers, where I now create immersive store experiences across the globe as Senior Designer. My work blends psychology and design to craft spaces that inspire and engage.
