About the designer
Born in São Paulo, Brazil, I have always been fascinated by creation and innovation, with my childhood dream being to become an inventor.
Today, I am a graduated & chartered industrial designer, passionate about the exercise, sports, and health industry.
Currently, I am volunteering as the Events Coordinator of ACIDO (Association of Chartered Industrial Designers of Ontario), where I have the delight of becoming more involved in serving my community, meeting ingenious professionals, and learning from industry leaders.
As an alumnus of the Hons. Bachelor of Crafts and Design (Industrial Design) program at Sheridan College, I have learned a diverse set of skills. Over the course of the four-year program, I had the opportunity to design for real-world clients, including the lighting manufacturer Betacalco during the Industry Project class, where my partner and I earned 2nd place in a class-wide competition. In addition, I worked for the non-profit organization Food For Life, where my team and I received the "Best Problem Identification Award".

About my practice:
I strive to incorporate ethics, sustainability, empathy, and inclusion in my work. Guided by curiosity, my practice involves discovery, empathy and innovation. For me, design is a continuous journey of learning and purposeful creation
-- For me, the beauty of design lies in the unexpected connections that emerge from the world around us. As designers, we uncover these connections and craft thoughtful solutions to exist in harmony with our surroundings. --
