To be a Brazilian designer is a big part of who I am in my profession. The ability to find answers in the most diverse scenarios by the use of creativity and social awareness is always present in my work. To be based in Milan for the past years, gives me a well-grounded experience of what it feels to be part of a city that lives and breathes design, learning directly from skilled hands and sharp eyes about the highly acclaimed Italian style.
Although I am not a fan of big fancy words, I can describe myself as someone willing to understand deep systemic challenges we are facing across the world, and to imagine preferable futures. I learned through the years to look at those challenges from multiple perspectives and to redesign obsolete ways of doing things, in order to design new services, organizations, products, experiences and processes that can create social and sustainable change.
