I am a qualified Brazilian architect and urban planner graduated from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

I’ve also acquired experience with light design during my placement at LD Studio, the major lighting design practice in Rio.

Prior to that, I was in London at London South Bank University where I studied a BA (Hons.) in Architecture. I also worked at the architecture practice, Newground Architects.

I have completed my five-year course, Architecture and Urbanism, and in that time I have gained a lot of transferable skills including:

• Good spatial visualisation expertise
• Creative design conception artistry
• Detail-oriented project management techniques
• Proficient Architectural software prowess: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Artlantis, Sketchup Pro, AutoCAD, Revit
• Strong communication skills
• Problem solving abilities
• Manual abilities: Drafting (plans, sections, perspectives), 3D model-making

During my spare time I like relaxing and going out with family and friends. I love cooking, listening to music and live events. Furthermore, I have a keen interest in travel and have visited several countries.

I also have a passion for film and enjoy going to Rio’s Film Festival every year. When I am not drawing I like to make short films, some of which you can view in my portfolio.
