Architectural Designer
Brazilian designer currently pursuing a Master of Architecture degree at the University of Pennsylvania | Weitzman School of Design. While expressing my diverse cultural and artistic identity, I explore the richness of material textures and spatial qualities through clean lines and exquisite forms.
