ABOUT
In 2018 I graduated from Architectural and Urban Design in Brazil, a 5-year Bachelor Degree program. I have since moved to Canada to pursue new opportunities and have graduated in April 2021 from Architectural and Engineering Technologies program (ARET) at Thompson Rivers University, a 3-year diploma program.
In University I was on the Dean’s list in both Canada and Brazil, furthered my passion for both interior and exterior design, and became skilled at using several architectural programs. During my architectural program in Brazil, I researched and designed various types of buildings using AutoCAD and became proficient in Revit, Sketchup, V-ray, and Lumion. I now have over 7 years experience in using each of these programs.
In University, I began working for Deborah Greco, a prominent architect in Uberlandia, Brazil. Throughout my employment, I was involved at all stages of the design process, helped design spectacular houses from beginning to end, became highly skilled at using architectural programs, and interacted with clients in various capacities. The ARET program allowed me to learn and appreciate the different residential and commercial building methods used in Canada compared to Brazil. I acquired knowledge of electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, surveying, project management, and building material calculations. Additionally, I completed presentations, which developed my communicative skills, and I am well versed in BCBC part 9 and the NBC – 2019 Alberta Building Code.
I worked one and a half years as an architectural technologist at Peake Design Group, collaborating with both architects, contractors and senior architectural technologists on both architectural and commercial projects.
I believe that together, my Brazilian and Canadian architectural education and work experience, have allowed me to become a well rounded and highly skilled professional.

FACADE EXPRESSION
EXTERIOR RENDERINGS
The building, in its function and in its form, has the main purpose of relating people, connecting users, families and society. The elevated walkways connecting all the blocks allow people to move around freely, due to the various areas of coexistence. This encourages the creation of bonds between individuals, and causes feelings of loneliness and anguish to be replaced with friendship and support.
INTERIOR RENDERINGS
Patients and families are welcomed by vibrant colours, organic shapes and visual dynamics. My sister’s picture behind the reception desk is a sign of resilience and nonetheless, hope. This photo was taken 4 months after she was released from the children’s cancer hospital. She is there as a symbol to remind patients to never give up.
The center has both dedicated play and activity areas, and a cafeteria, which was designed to give the users a unique and fun experience. These aspects were designed to offer positive distractions for patients and their families.
