about

I graduated in Architecture and Urbanism at Escola da Cidade, São Paulo, Brazil in 2016. Since graduation, I have been involved in the intersections between Architecture, Art, Art Direction, Graphic Design and Photography.

With experience in different areas and always starting the project development from conceptual studies and research, I currently work with Art Direction and as a freelance Designer - developing publishing, branding and signage projects, always looking throughout the process to keep a curious look and a multidisciplinary approach highly concerned with the storytelling aesthetic quality.

In addition to my professional work, I develop, in parallel, authorial experiments and photographic works, in which I seek to establish a more practical way of understanding the relations between the construction of image, space, memory and subject, which are key to my research.
