About 

I am a Licensed Architect in Brazil who recently relocated to New York City due to my husband's job transfer. Now fully settled and authorized to work in the US, I am seeking an entry-level position to further develop my career while pursuing my passion for architecture and interior design.

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture and Urbanism from the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) and spent a year studying at the prestigious TU Delft in the Netherlands. With over four years of experience focused on high-end residential architecture and interior design, I am eager to explore other project types as well.

I am skilled in all phases of the design process, from Schematic Design to Construction Administration. Proficient in Archicad (BIM), AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Lumion, I am also familiar with other essential design software. I look forward to contributing my skills and enthusiasm to a dynamic team in the vibrant NYC!
