ABOUT ME
I am an interior architecture student at FIU, passionate about design solutions. The journey into motherhood has inspired me to address real needs and creatively solve problems for products and layouts. As an innate design thinker, I combine functionality, originality, and storytelling in my work, always emphasizing meaningful design. Originally from Brazil, I studied business, published a children's book in Portuguese, and patented a cloth diaper design. I’m especially interested in space planning, furniture design, sustainability, and using design thinking to solve real-life challenges.
