I am a Portuguese registered architect with almost 10 years of experience. I completed my architectural degree in 2010, finishing my Master´s degree with specialization in Heritage and Rehabilitation.
In Portugal, I started my work experience at VITERBO Interior Design, an international awarded office where I was involved in highend residential and hospitality projects.
I realized the value of international experience and after my internship I went to London where I lived and worked for 7 months absorbing the constant inspiration and culture that London can give.
I went to China in 2012 where I stayed until 2015, before caming to Australia. I had an enriching experience that gave me the possibility to enlarge my project experience in a completely different environment. Those personal and professional changes makes me consider a person that easily adapts to new situations and challenges.
One of my experiences in China was as designer architect for YMSK , a French office, based in Shanghai, developing residential and commercial projects. This experience allowed me to liaise directly with clients on assigned projects to meet their design needs and follow the projects from the initial concepts to the construction and project delivery.
Traveling gave me other domains and inspirations that complement my personal approach to architecture. For me travel is a pursuit for personal, cultural, photographic fields ... and with this I learned the importance of exploring new cultures and the diverse selection of spaces and forms that can be find around the world. This was one of the reasons that led me in 2009 to Mozambique as a volunteer, assisting in a community development project in village of Chongoene.
I moved to Australia in 2015 and my first experience in Australia was at INCORP, as a CAD Drafter and in March 2016 I started working at NettletonTribe as a graduate architect in the Interior Design and Architecture departments. I consider myself a person with a strong sense of responsibility, hard worker and with a good team work spirit.
