am a dynamic and ambitious architect with over 10 years of experience in hospitality, commercial, residential, and large scale mixed-use projects. have worked in several respected architecture and design companies around the world (i.e., 6 years in Brazil, 1 year in Italy and 8 years in the United States) designing, developing and managing projects from schematic design through the construction administration phases.

Throughout my career, have had the opportunity to work on all project phases, as well as with various kinds and scales of projects. Additionally, having worked in different countries and continents, had the opportunity to learn about different construction systems, standards, and design styles. This entire experience has provided me with a holistic view of the profession and enriched my knowledge over the years. In the past six years, have directed my focus towards hospitality and mixed-use projects, gaining significant experience in these fields, which are my true passion.
