Brazilian designer and researcher. Currently Assistant Professor at IE School of Architecture and Design. PhD in Fine Arts, specialized in Contemporary Drawing (FBAUL, 2024), Master in Technology Intelligence and Digital Design (PUCSP, 2016). Extensive experience in interdisciplinary design disciplines both in academic and professional environments.
During my PhD, I co-created, coordinated and curated "5 Minutes of Drawing" (FBAUL), a research project funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (Portugal). I am currently a member of the research project "Sensclusion: Sense of Place and Sociospatial Inclusion in Vulnerable Neighborhoods," funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities (Spain). I am also the curator of IE School of Architecture and Design lecture series, bringing together voices from global North and South. Over the past years, I've lectured at design and architecture institutions such as EINA and ETSAB in Barcelona, and at events such as Madrid Design Festival or Barcelona Dibuixa.
Previously to academia, I spent for over 8 years working as a designer and producer at Google, Roche, and startups in Latin America and Europe.
My research interests lie at the intersection of design, art, innovation and technology in the context of post-digitalization and acceleration. I explore these topics through phenomenology, affective atmospheres, relational, slow and situated design/art practices urban and natural environments.

SAGAPOesia
Small series developed in July/2020 based on the concept of s’agapo (Σ' αγαπώ), which means ‘I love you’ in Greek. Inspired on the book Banquet by Plato, it questions how love can be expressed through objects, poetry, language, imagination, my body, other bodies. Love as a terrain that is always fertile, always unconditional, where eros is present in the little details.
Diotima (the only person who truly knows about love according to Socrates) says that love is not a god, but is rather a spirit that mediates between people and the objects of their desire. Love is neither wise nor beautiful, but is rather the desire for wisdom and beauty. Love is a great spirit. Everything spiritual is in between god and mortal.
It compiles drawings, either on paper, on books or on notes from a Greek class I had in my childhood (when I learned what s’agapo was), besides little sculptures or objects I made. After the series was finished, drawings were given to important people of my life who chose the ones they identified the most with.
