About Me
Experienced and energetic architect, interior designer, and urban planner with a comprehensive background spanning residential, commercial, and hospitality projects. I bring excellent analytical vision, creative ability, and refined design skills to every engagement.
Born and trained in Brazil—earning a Bachelor of Architecture from UNIT - Tiradentes University—I built my early career founding my own architectural practice before relocating to the United States. Now based in the Greater Richmond area, I am returning to the profession with fresh energy, recent certifications, and a deep commitment to sustainable, thoughtful design.
Highly organized with demonstrated success managing multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously. I thrive at the intersection of client vision, technical rigor, and creative problem-solving.
