    I am an accomplished urban designer with over 20 years of experience across a wide range of projects, including mixed-use developments, residential communities, commercial centers, and regional strategic planning studies. With a background in architecture and dual master’s degrees — one in Urban Regeneration from the University of Westminster and another in Landscape Urbanism from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London — seamlessly integrate architectural practice with a deep understanding of urban dynamics. This expertise allows me to navigate the complexities of master planning while collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams.


    Having lived in London and São Paulo, and now residing in Chicago, my extensive international experience has given me a unique perspective on designing for diverse cultures and at various scales. My work is grounded in a commitment to creating innovative, regenerative environments tailored to the unique dynamics of each place.
 

    With a holistic approach that combines ecological insight, cultural production, and spatial organization, I design spaces that create meaningful experiences, foster social connections, and inspire a new era of urban design. My work envisions the harmonious coexistence of nature and culture, crafting environments that are not only functional but also enriching and resilient for future generations.
