Architecture · Urban Design · Creativity
I am an Architectural Designer with over 17 years of international experience, including more than 11 years working in architectural practice in Australia. Originally from Brazil and now based in Sydney, my background combines architecture, urban design, visual communication and a strong passion for creativity.
With a degree in Architecture and Urban Design, I have developed experience across a diverse range of projects, from bespoke residential homes and multi-residential developments to affordable housing, commercial buildings and urban design proposals.
My approach to architecture goes beyond the design of individual buildings. I am interested in understanding how architecture interacts with its surroundings, how spaces influence the way people experience a place, and how thoughtful design can contribute positively to the character and identity of a city.
I believe architecture is an opportunity to create more than functional spaces. It is a way to shape experiences, establish connections and bring character to the built environment. I am particularly drawn to the relationship between buildings, landscape, public spaces and the urban fabric, exploring how contemporary design can respond to context while contributing something meaningful to its surroundings.
Before pursuing architecture professionally, I also explored my creativity through mural painting and street art. This experience continues to influence my design perspective, particularly my appreciation of colour, composition, materials and visual expression. I see architecture and street art as different forms of expression that share the ability to transform spaces, give character to the city and make walls and buildings part of a larger urban canvas.
Throughout my career, I have developed a strong interest in concept design, problem-solving and the exploration of ideas, combining creative thinking with technical knowledge and practical design solutions. I enjoy the process of transforming complex site conditions, planning requirements and project challenges into considered architectural outcomes.
For me, architecture, urban design and art are interconnected disciplines — all contributing to the way we shape, experience and connect with the city.
